    I am sorry for your loss. The bible provides comfort during these difficult times. Revelation 21:3,4...states: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away". Very soon, we will never experience losing our loved ones in death.

    Sorry to hear about the loss of Evelyn. She made me a Santa Clause Christmas decoration when I was secretary to Mr. Beck and I am still using it every Christmas. She was a nice lady. Evelyn Maye
