Jean & family members. My deepest sympathy
to you all. May you feel God’s peace and may your
faith strengthen you during this difficult time.
My thoughts will be with you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of bereave-ment. May you find strength as you lean heavily upon the promises of God.
May God hold Heather’s beloved grandfather in the palm of His hand.
There will come a day, Angela, when you and your dad will be together again.
Meanwhile, I suspect he’s flyfishing in the lakes and rivers of heaven.
Love,
Michael
