Dear Susan and Willie,

Please know that you and your family are in my prayers for your huge loss. You guys were so very fortunate to have had your mother for so many years, but then the longer that someone has been in your life the greater the loss.

But thanks be to God and His precious Son we will see them again and after ten thousand years we'll still be right there beside them, never to say goodbye again, while praising our wonderful gracious Father.

Take care,
Clifford Mann "67"
