Dear Lord... although I question, I will never doubt that Your plan is unfolding as it should.

Mrs. Blair and family, You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time. Although all of us kids grew up and found our own paths in life, I have so many cherished memories that I treasure of our youth. It is great to run into all of you from time to time to catch up with each other. I have the greatest memories of Mr. Blair with all his fish tanks in the garage; I can hear him calling you kids in for dinner; and his laugh....Take comfort in knowing, I'm sure my dad will greet him at the gates of heaven (7/3/83). Love to you all, Teresa Thayer Harris and family.
