To lose a loved one always brings us to our knees. Though it is a fact of life we truly never expect it, Our Creator’s purpose for life was that we enjoy life to the fullest without end. This sad interuption never changed that plan. May you find solace and comfort in his son’s promise of life, through his sacrifice, as we await fulfillment.

Steve–I went to the viewing tonight, Saturday, and discovered, when no one was there, and I came home to check, that it was last night. I wrote it down wrong. I am sorry to have missed seeing you and saying good-by to your Dad. Mary Ann
