Mr. Ray, Jake, Cindi, Randy, & Amber....
The death & loss of a loved one are never easy. My condolences on the passing of Mrs. Gail from this life into eternity with the Lord..

A favorite poem:
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all are meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
