Faye and family -
I just read about the loss of John. I am terribly sorry about your loss and will pass the sad news onto Mom when I talk to her this weekend. She is in a new place in Rapid City now. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I know this is a hard time and your missing John very much. Sometimes you don't know where to turn but Isahiah 41:10,13 helps you look to Jehovah as a source of comfort and he wil really help you.
