Sam and family, I was so sorry to hear about your dad passing....Delta shared the story about his pastor with him Saturday night singing Amazing Grace and how your Dad squeezed his hand during one of the verses. How touching to realize that he now knows what Heaven is all about.....You all are in my prayers and remember, time will make a difference..... Kaye Jones, Shelby NC
