Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

My sympathy to the family, especially Barbara, whom I love dearly. She is my very close friend, and I know she loved her father dearly. She has been my support through many sad times and I have been hers. God bless.
