    Lorraine, I was so sorry to read about Bob’s passing. I loved hearing your stories about the two of you. It was always a pleasure when you both came in the Islander. I am glad we were able to reconnect at Longhorn. Please accept my family and my deepest condolences. If there is any thing you need, please do not hesitate to ask. I hope all your happy memories will help you through these sad and difficult times.

    May God be with your family during this difficult time. The loss of a loved one is very devastating. It is comforting to know that God understands your grief and more than that, He longs to use His almighty powers to do something about it. At Job 14:14 and 15 and Psalm 37:11, 29, we are told that God will restore life to the dead in peaceful and happy conditions on the earth. Until this promise from God, who cannot tell lies(Numbers 23:19) is fulfilled, may He grant you peace and hope now and in the coming days.
