Dear Marshall, Thank you so much for directing me to Romans 12:18 more than 20 years ago. It is marked in my Bible that you pointed it out. Now here is one for you. "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted." (Matthew 5:4)

Dear Shirley and Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences on Harry`s passing. I have so many fond memories of the many times I enjoyed his wit and great outlook on life. He was a personal hero of mine seeing how he worked his way thru his war experiences to go on and build a good life and fine family. His presence enhanced the lives of all who knew him.
May God comfort you all in this time of grief.
