Richard and Family,
Sorrow for your loss. Praying for peace and comfort as you work your way thru the Thanksgiving season without your mother. I pray also that you will remember and celebrate and be thankful for your mother’s life on this earth before she departed to await the rest of us in the new Heaven and Earth. Blessings to you and yours, Jeff Davies
