Dear Parella & The entire Landquist Family- what an emotional day when this incredible battle is ended, David's tired body is laid to rest', and the honoring of a warrior is about to take place. Soon enough life will have to be addressed. Right now, it's possible to see a glimpse of our places in the scheme of God's logistics. The next time of meeting should be the gathering in The Great Throne Room-at The Mercy Seat-as far as we know so far. We can only imagine! David certainly set a standard with which to carry on! May The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Much love from the Cain Family!
And loved skiing
