I will like to express my condolences to your family for the death of your loved one. A loved one lost can grieve the heart, and make us yearn for the day when Jah will keep the promise he made of no pain, no death, and no sorrow.

Dear Barb,

I am so sorry to hear your Dad, our "Uncle Johnny" died and we (Zimmerman Family) didn't know about it at the time. I know his passing must be a relief to you that God did not allow him to suffer any more. I am aware of how devastating a disease Alzheimer is.

Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you.

It is my hope that we can get together before the year ends. It was so good seeing you at Aunt Shirley's wake (the rain deluge of 2008)!. Please call me or Joey so we can meet (when you are up to it).

With Love & Sympathy,
Judy ("Judeala")
