Frank,
We just want you to know that we are praying for you and we’re so sorry for your loss. We have to know that it is our loss, but heavens gain. Your sister wouldn’t come back here for anything even if she could. What a time she must be having! Karen sends her regrets that she can’t be there for you through this, but know that she is praying for you, and holding you up to the Lord. If we can do anything for you, please let us know.
Love, Teresa, Karen & Rubye
