Darlene my heart is breaking for your loss of Lee. I know we talked and prayed about God knowing the situation even when we couldn't understand it. Roman 8:28 says God causes all things to work for the good to those who LOVE Him and are CALLED according to His purposes. I know you both check both of those boxes. Always remember "the JOY of the LORD is my STRENGTH."
Love & appreciate your Godly wisdom & encouragement you give to many. Allow us all to help hold you up in the Lord!
