We think of Big Henry every time we look at the beautiful glass box he made for us as a wedding present. It has held our matches for the last 28 years. He will be in our prayers. The Gobels

Sorry for the loss of your loved one. Losing someone you love in deatg can be very difficult. Remember though that you are not alone. Psalm 55:22 says, "Throw your burden upon God himself, and he himself will sustain you. Never will he allow the righteous one to totter."
