My prayers and condolences to the Dupuy family. I grew up down the street from Mrs. Dupuy and her kids. Mrs. Dupuy was always inviting and kind to us kids when, in hind sight we were probably driving her crazy. It is never easy to lose a loved one, but I'm sure she is watching down on us from the presence of the Lord.
