Bill and James,
I am sorry but I just learned of your mother's death today. I admired her and your dad so much and know this is such a loss to both of you. Please know I am thinking of you and your families during this time.

I am sorry for your loss, but you boys know your loss is Heaven's gain! Your Mom and Dad are now eternally together in God's glorious presence. Your parents were an absolute joy to know and care for and what a blessing and inspiration to others they were. My prayer is for God to wrap you all in His loving arms and perfect peace.
