A deep, heart-felt THANK YOU to all of you who posted condolences, prayers, and kind words of comfort concerning the sudden loss of my mother.  They blessed and helped me more than you'll ever know.

Mom's funeral service last Wednesday honored her well, and -- by the grace of God -- I was able to officiate at graveside; in fact, it turned out to be deeply meaningful for my family and I.

The congregation that I am privileged to serve has also surrounded my family and I in an amazing display of tenderness and support.  I am indeed a very blessed man.

I continue to covet your prayers as my sisters and I make our way through the aftermath of Mom's passing with a multitude of decisions and tasks ahead of us.

Once again, THANK YOU!
