Joyce, we loved him so much,,,one of the most devout Christians we have ever known. I'm guessing he is up there visiting with Marylou and Ethel and Betty (the other founding members) . The road ahead for you is hard and painful. Praying God's comfort will be with you, and one day the two of you will be reunited. What a great day that will be !
We are planning to be at the funeral. However, if we don't make it, you will know that physically we just could not be there.
