Praying for you and family for strength in this time. Such a small world. I have many fine memories of Paris. It was our favorite camp site. Several of my dearest friends in Day-care service are located in the area.

I'm so sorry to hear of Adolph’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW
