Brother Geeding,
My prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of your dear wife, Sylvette. I did not know her very well, but I was deeply moved by the things that were said about her yesterday at the memorial service. What a tremendous blessing she has been in your life and the life of many others! I pray that you will know Jesus's presence and love in a special way in the weeks and months to come.
