Dear Theda and family. Was just looking at obituaries on line and saw this. So sorry for what you are going through. I remember meeting your sweet husband at Trinity. I went through this in 2016 when Jesus called Gary home. Know that the God we serve will carry you through every bit of this. He is faithful!!! I moved back home to Michigan a year ago but my prayers are with you across the miles.
