Dear Cousins, Ed and I are truly saddened by Dru´s passing and for your extended season of mourning. As you miss her presence, also rejoice with the angels in heaven, for she is now present with our Lord. We pray for your Comfort, Strength and Peace, which you will find in and through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He loves you and is always with you.
