The Lord says, "Come All Ye That Labor and Are Heavy Laden and I Will Give You Rest" Matt 11:28
Dr. Sully was indeed a hard working and gentle spirited man who exemplified agape love to his family. He had a genuine concern as a physician for the well-being of folks in our community back home in Berlin, Maryland. May you keep dear to your hearts the memories of your father and know that he is resting now with his Heavenly Father.

My Sincere Condolences and Love to the family.
