Dear Fran and family,
Just heard the news about Truman. Please know how sad we are for you and your family. He was a good guy with a great smile and always willing to help others. I know you are being reminded of all the promises for us Christians, but right now, don't think they mean much to you. Please hold on, Fran, one day your joy will return. It may take a very long time, but keep looking for it. I often envy the spouse who goes on to Heaven first. They have made it home--yea--and...
