Brother Bob and sister Bess, so often we must say bye before we are ever ready, however in the Bible Paul mentions that to be absent from the body is to be presnet with the Lord, also his words to his friend and Brother Timothy brings to us "new meaning today , "I have fought a good fight , "I have finished my course , I have kept the Faith",. May your faith in our heavenly Father bring you peace and comfort, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very hard and difficult time.
