Connie,
Our deepest sympathy goes out to You and Emma at this time, as we learned about the passing of your Father. May your Dad rest in peace for all time. The Lord seeks those who served well on earth. I know Bill is among them. Our thoughts and prayers are with You, Emma, and Robin at your time of sorrow.
