I would like to express my condolences to the friends and family of Ms. Ades. I hope you will find comfort, as I have, in this wonderful promise from our Heavenly Father--Revelation 21: 3,4.

As Keith and Kaye's oldest son, I recall many good times you had with them as I was a child. Even after they left Iowa, they valued your friendship and continued to reminisce and stay in touch. Our sympathy and thoughts are with your family.
