As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Here is a comforting word from God, "Come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh you." (Matt 11:28) A thought for The Cousar Family.
