Dear Okie and Eric,
I am thankful I was in town and noticed Mrs. Sue's name in the paper. I recently saw Eric - on duty in uniform at St. Bernard's Village where Buck's parents now live. He quickly shared his mom was not doing well.
May the Lord bring HIS PEACE and comfort to each of your aching hearts as ONLY HE CAN DO...
in His unfailing love,
Pam Rusher
Psalm 13:5-6
