I pray that God will comfort you in your great loss. My heart goes out to Maude in having to let go of her oldest son; to Anne for the pain you shared with him in his suffering; to his children who will never forget him; and to Jinx in his grief. May God truly grant you the peace that passes all understanding and the continued support of family and friends.
