Dear Suzy,
Carol Small emailed me about Bill passing away. Although I did not know Bill, I am sure he was a great person to have been your husband. I will be praying for you and your family. I know this is a sad time for you and I pray that you will feel the presence of the Lord in your life during this difficult time.
Love,
Margie Lee Justice
