Kathleen, Please accept my deep sympathy. My mother told me of your father's passing. I remember fondly my visiting your home when we were friends at Jefferson Elementary. May the Lord bless you and comfort you at this time of loss. Isaiah 26:3 "I will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
