I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost both in-laws this past year and it is never easy. They too were great Christians and I'm comforted in the knowledge that we'll meet again.

Thanks again to everyone for your kind words and prayers. Things are going good and I will be tapping soon.

God bless you and your family.
