I know that Heaven is even more blessed with the arrival of this dear and wonderful person, Sally. I regret that I was unable to get to the funeral in Suffolk on time due to a commitment I had made to the Widow of a friend who's funeral was at ten in Newport News on the same day. That funeral ran way over the expected time; however, I did drive to the cemetary and arrived just in time to see the last cars pulling away, so please forgive me as I didn't get the chance to speak with any of you before you left. Meeting Sally was one of God's amazing feats by putting two people together to share so much joy in their lives with a loving family surrounding both of them as they began their wonderful life together. I especially appreciate Lane and Bob for making that connection. My Brother, Cecil, or as I called him for all of his life, "Jitter" was truly blessed to have had such a wonderful person in his life. I miss him very much. I know that Heaven's Choir now has two new voices singing praise after praise for our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. I loved them both and thank the family for the support and love given to her in these last days. Since Cecil's passing, she has never failed to send us a Christmas Card and Birthday Card with a little handwritten note included. This is the kindness she always showed to anyone she came in contact with, always thinking of somebody else on any occasion, birthday, Christmas, new born, whatever, she would send that special note. God bless all of this family as adjustments are having to be made and I know it will take some time to go through it. May the Peace of God be upon all of you, as He will keep you and bless you in these days.

My amazing Aunt Sally was loved by everyone who knew her. Tomorrow will be hard but she is without pain and in in a better place now. I'm so thankful Jordan Crowe and I were able to go see her last month and say our goodbyes. She was at peace and ready to go see Jesus whenever he wanted to take her home. She had a lot of loved ones already waiting for her up there.
