Marita, I am so sorry about the loss of your brother. I know you had lifted him in prayer many times to the Lord and your friends including Bob and me have prayed for him. Now we pray for you and your family realizing how you feel having lost two brothers in the last three years myself. God is good and will help you remember so many wonderful memories as time goes on. The hope of Heaven is so much more real now. Love, Bob and Margaret Derebery
