My deepest sympathy for the whole family of Andy and Nan. For the years I knew them here in Florida, they were the kindest and most caring people I have ever known, and I know Christopher must have been that way as well... he had great examples to learn from.



But this is only a temporary separation of their family, which will be followed in eternity together since the Combs' family is part of the family of GOD!



May God provide his comfort to you and your family during this time of loss.



Your family is loved...
