It was a privilege to get the opportunity to meet Mr. Yegge. Although it was near the end, I could tell right away he was a man of great honor and respect. The compassionate love and care that Joyce and the kids provided to keep him comfortable and at home was nothing short of awe-inspiring. My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time.

I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Yegge however, I felt like I knew him from all of the stories that his son, John, shared with me. It was obvious that he was loved by everyone in his life.
Your family will remain in mine and Jessica's prayers.
