Dear Melinda & Family,

You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time and will continue to be in the days ahead. Carol told us Sunday at Clarksbury that your Mother was really sick and I have had all of you in my prayers. May our Lord comfort and sustain you now and in the days ahead. If I can be of any help, please know I am here for you.

Sincerely with my love,
