Thanks for sharing your father SB and your Mother Joann with me while a student at FVSC. You guys are like a sister and brother to me.
Take comfort in knowing that your parents are home with the Lord.
Honor their life and nurturing/training by establishing and maintaining the right relationship first with God and then with each other. Undergrid and strengthen one another.
Know that God allows adversity, storms, and even death into our lives not to break us but make us strong.
Lean and trust God in all situations that come your way, knowing that God is working it out for your good.
