Arthur and I kept in touch through the years, up until a few years back and I enjoyed our talks together until things in his growing family changed and we lost contact a few years ago ! Our relationship in Jesus enabled us to stay in touch ! I will miss our family contacts and our meaningful conversations together !

God Bless his growing family members ! Ephesians 3: 20.
