I just saw the news and was sorry to read of Irvin's passing. Oh, if we could only live forever. I remember a long talk with him at your home and how they attended worship. Sometimes I ran into him at the Family Table. He was cheerful and kind and I could see how you loved each other. May God's peace be with you and yours.
