Unfortunately I only just heard the sad news now, 2/4, 7:20 pm. and am unable to attend the service. I was just thinking of him earlier today, while watching Oprah. Our hearts are with you all in this difficult time. Your cousin,

Maureen, Margaret, Carla,
John 14:2 Jesus said, "In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you."
Let the Bible give you peace and assurance in His promises.
You are all in my prayers.
