What a sad time this is Mary for you and your family. My prayers are that Gods love will uplift you and give you the strength to get through this difficult time. I hope it helps to remember that your loved one is in God's,
care. My sadness is to that we have not kept in touch over the years. I hope we can rectify that. Love in Christ Marilyn and Ted Lee
