Cub, your mom Jeanie was a special person in my life. I really enjoyed the many times we got together with Wayne, Jeanie, yourself and Rodney over the years. We do not realize how really special family is and how short our time is with these special people. Jeanie was special because she was concerned about everybody in the family and she showed her love to us in many ways. We shall miss her.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that losing a loved one is not easy, but our faith in God's promises can help us get through difficult times like this. I hope you will find comfort in God's promise at John 11:24-25. Knowing that there is a future for those we have lost in death can be very reassuring! -
