Dear Joe, please know my prayers are with you and all the family at this sad time. As you know Joe our shared faith in the Risen Lord is our greatest consolation as it provides us the greatest Hope that for us who believe, and indeed maybe ,through the Mercy of God, for all Creation, Life is changed not ended! When our earthly dwelling lies in death we gain an everlasting dwelling place in Heaven. I have many happy memories of dinner with you and Nancy. She carried her cross of suffering supported by you, her Simon of Cyrene. Now she is Home with our Lord and it won't be too long before we will all be feasting together around the banquet table of the Lord. I insist you prepare me a Makers Mark Manhattan with luxardo cherries....!!xxxx
