Dearest Mike Sr, Mike JR, Josh and all, We are so sorry to hear about Carol. Emily had told us about her illness after we moved to Arizona, and I have prayed for her often. She was always so kind to us, and Emily, especially, always felt so close to her. God be with you all. You are in our prayers.
