Karen, Judy, Nancy..

You are all in my prayers and will continue to be in the upcoming days ahead. Your angel is now in heaven with all of those that have gone before him. They will all be so glad to see him, I know my parents will welcome Nash back to the club. Those are the things that I hang on to in my time of sorrow. God has called a few of the best back home in these past few months. I know that God is watching and caring for our loved ones until we meet up with them again. Love and Peace to all of you..
