Hello to my sweet friends,
You have been so very much in my thoughts and prayers today. I desire to be able to personally hug you and tell you I love you but since that is not possible from Texas, I will just have to find other ways to express my feelings. I am so sorry that I could not attend the celebration of Miss Mary's birthday a week ago. I know that must have been a wonderful and memorable occasion--one that you will cherish greatly as the years go by.
I pray that you will feel my love and sympathy during these next days. I pray that God's perfect Peace and Comfort will be felt by each of you as you grieve and adjust. God is faithful for all our needs. Lean heavily on Him. He is able!
