  10. This truly is a sad time. I have always enjoyed your wit and quick to the point humor. You were loved and you loved. You asked for help and you helped. Most of all you went the distance in comfort and pain. In this suffering you found salvation by grace from the redeemer, Lord Jesus. We will pray for your sole always. Love you brother.
