Eddie, Kim, & Family,
I am saddened to hear about the passing of Mr. Canter. There is not much one can say to comfort you during this time of loss other than to say you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and give you strength to carry on (from His words: Ecclesiates Ch. 3 verses 1 -4).
Love,
Mike Boykin
