Dear Hollis and Mary, I'm just reading of this and I am so, so sorry for your loss. I don't know if you remember me but I was involved in Youth For Christ many years ago. Just wanted to let you both know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Hollis & Mary, Sam & Anita McMillan down in Blowing Rock, N.C standing with you in your grief over Jon Marc's tragic death. You know so well we will all see him again but the pain now is so very real. We lost our 16 year old granddaughter 5 years ago to cancer. She was a worship dancer and we will see her dance again. Though distance & time separate us our love for you is very much intact...

I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. It's never easy to go through loosing someone you dearly love. I hope you can find some comfort in your time of loss. Reading Isaiah 61: 1,2 helped me when I was going through my loss.
