LouEllen,
Mama and I send our deepest sympthy and much love to you and your family at this time. Barry and you were so good at visiting Mama when she was so sick and we'll both be eternally grateful for that - Barry introduced her to one of Gerizim's pastors as "his miracle". We love you and may God bless you all and hold you tight.
