Charlotte, Ron and Rick — I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. I printed the picture and information for my parents — and I know they’ll be sad to hear that she passed. I remember your mom — and you all — coming over to our house when we were kids and us going to your house, too. And I remember your dad, too, of course.

John 10:28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
May the Lord Bless you all, The Carey Family
