  3. My thoughts are with you at this most difficult time. I recently suffered the loss of dear loved ones and I was able to find comfort from caring family members and friends, as well as, God’s Word, the Bible. My hope is that God who comforts us in all our tribulations, comfort you at this time.

  4. John, so sorry to read about Jerome’s death in the paper. It is a wonderful picture. He is very handsome. It was a pleasure and honor to have met you both and to take care of Jerome. He is at peace now. He can talk to my mother in heaven now and tell her that I am doing fine. Please send my sympathies to the rest of your family.
