Patrice,

When I talked to you yesterday, I just want to say I admire your strength! And I'm so grateful to God for carrying you through this. I know the pain is there, as you stated, and it's to be expected. I've been there and I miss my father sooo much! I know he's here with me in spirit, and Mr. Slater as well. God will see you and your family through. As we go day by day, there's no doubt that the death angel is very busy. But we know that we will all meet again with our loved ones one day. Giving all Glory to God. Stay strong sis, and I pray for you and your family.
God Bless... I love you girl.
