Thinking of you, Susan, and praying for you as you celebrate Reg's life this morning. Only 2 months ago we celebrated Don's life on earth and rejoiced through tears that his suffering had ended and he was with Jesus. The sorrow is deep, but it is more than matched by the nearness of God.
I'm so sorry for your loss and will be praying for you in the coming weeks and months, that you'll experience the grace and peace of God. "The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." (Deut. 33:27)
Love and prayers to you and Max and your dear extended family.

Susan and family - my prayers and condolences are with you. I'm so grateful to say I knew Reg and think the absolute world of him. He was a truly special and very kind-hearted person and I have no doubt will be as greatly missed as much as he was admired. Thankfully, his legacy lives on through you all. Much love.
