Pam and Duane, We are so sorry for your loss, we've been praying for your family everyday. I hope you and your mom received my cards. I am so sorry we could not attend the funeral. I have had several sudden tragic deaths on my side of the family over the years that I am no comfort to others at a funeral as I become so overwhelmed. God will be with you and hold onto friends and family that God sends to you to comfort you. Love you all very much, Chip and Pris
