Dear Cousins Kathy, Eileen, David and family,
Please know of my love and prayers for each of you. I am remembering John's genuinely kind, gentle, and faith-filled person. I often remember Joe Wise' version of the "Hail Mary" at times like these. He sings, "Holy Mary, Mother of our God, pray for us PILGRIMS, now and at the hour of our BIRT. Amen." John has experienced a new birth. We are still pilgrims on the journey. My prayers and love are with you.
