Dear Minnie,
I wrote you a note and am sending you a little memento via mail. You should receive it in a few days. I'm sorry that I could not attend Ed's funeral. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers as you go through this loss. Having been there, I truly know just how hard it really is. I still miss Ken every day. As we spoke on the phone, our days are numbered by the Lord and He will be surely be faithful to you now and in the days to come. As His Word says, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases and His mercy never comes to an end. His benefits are new every morning and Great is His faithfulness!" I've benefited so much for having known about the good things of the Lord even from my childhood and I'm sure that you feel the same way. We were blessed to have been raised to know the Presence of the Lord and the Reality of His Word. Call me anytime. And thank you for calling me about Ed. With my love for you and your family, Prayerfully, and Most sincerely, BR
