But as with all of those challenges that have gone past and all those that the future may hold, in this moment and every other you are in my thoughts and prayers – but more importantly – you are both in the loving care of our Lord… today and ALWAYS!!

Asking Him now to blanket you both with much peace and enfold you with much comfort in coverings woven from His mercy and love for all eternity. Rest in Peace. “
