Dear Aunt Margaret, and cousins:
I’m praying that you are all doing well under the current difficult circumstances! I pray that God will provide you with all the comfort and strength you need during this season of loss and grief. May you be blessed with many wonderful memories (just as I was and am from childhood and beyond) by the beautiful smile, laughter, and kindness of your husband, your father…my Uncle Don! It gives me great joy and hope to know that he is with the Lord (and Debbie!) and has no more suffering or sorrow! One day we will see him again – until then, I will be holding you all up in prayer! May the sufficient grace and peace of Christ keep you close to one another now and always! Love, Amy
Our hearts go out to and your family at this difficult time. Ron and I will always cherish the last time we spent with you and Don at your home. We love you! Ron and Lynette Videan
