Hello Cindy:
My prayers are with you and your mom at this difficult time. Your dad must have been a wonderful person because you are. I first met you when we were HSU students about 25 years ago. Know you are loved by God, family and friends (more than you can even remember!) and gain strength. Best to you, Wes and the boys always, Jill
