Laureen,
It is not enough and it won't help, but I can both empathize and sympathize with you after having lost my own father recently. You mean so much to all of us at CACI in San Diego and we want you know that you are in our thoughts as you go through these tough tough days.

"A prayer warrior and man of God indeed" was Deacon Taylor! He was such a blessing to me during our days at Best Products. Such a humble and meek gentleman and a delight to have worked with and have as part of our prayer group. To Mrs. Taylor and the family, may God's warm and tender embrace comfort you today and fill your heart with joyful memories always.
