Jim, Faye and family,
I recall running into you at the mall some months ago, and you mentioned you were spending time with your son who was ill. I was just over a bout with a tough bug myself and thought that's what you were talking about. I"m so sorry I didn't ask for more information. He sounds like a wonderful man, and I know he has wonderful parents. Paula and I are adding our prayers for the family; we know he's now well and healthy and safe in heaven.

I was so sorry to read about Matt in the paper. He was a wonderful man. I know your hearts must be broken. You're all going to miss him so much. He was raised by precious Christian parents who raised him to be a God fearing man. We were blessed to know him. I love you all and will be praying for all of you.
