Deepest condolences to the family of David Batzer, my cousin. We have been separated for about 42 years, and even that last visit was a short one, but our family connection is so strong that I'm sure we would have had an instant connection had a reunion been possible. I'm praying that the Father of all Comfort will draw near and bring strength, comfort, and peace to Katie, Kelly, and Clare; to Pete and Karen, and especially to my precious Aunt Patti who lost her own husband last year, and now bears this new burden of saying goodbye to her son. I'm so sorry for this loss you are all suffering. God be with you.
