My deepest condolences to the Meadows family. I hope you may find comfort knowing he has returned to his Heavenly Father, and the memory of your loved one now surrounds you in all things God has made, the turn of a leaf, the twinkle of a star, the soft evening breeze that gently touches your cheek. I wish for you the strength you require to carry you through the coming days.
