I was shocked to read Swain's obituary! My sympathy to his entire family. I met Swain when he started attending the Men's Grief Group. He shared many stories about his wife, their travels, how blessed he was but yet how much he missed his wife! He fondly spoke about the travels he had with Mackenzie and how he looked forward to more trips they would take in the future. Blessings and God's comfort to the entire family. Please take comfort knowing Swain is back with his beloved wife!
