To Julian's family,
My name is Cindi Davies. I work for the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. I met your father through the Brotherhood. I loved him, his spirit and his love of Jesus. He is one of the people you meet in your life that makes an impression on you that lasts a life time. I know he will be missed but he is with Jesus now.
God bless!!

Wright, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I remember meeting your parents many many years ago, when you and I went by their home. My mom and dad, and step-dad are all gone, and I know how it feels. Hugs and prayers to you and your family.
