To the Borgna Family !!
May God lead you through these trying times, for his intention is not known to us, we can only trust and believe that God makes no mistakes. My heart goes out to your family. You are in ;my thoughts and prayers. Find strength in Psalms 61 ...
Psalms 61 ...
Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For You have been a shelter for me,
A strong tower from the enemy.
I will abide in Your tabernacle forever;
I will trust in the shelter of Your wings.

I simply cannot adequately express how much I miss him and how bad I feel for all of you in the Borgna family. His genuine decency and greatness was inspirational to all of us in the Paradis family. We are all better for being close to him in Raleigh since 2000.
