Paulette and Family

I am sorry to find out that your husband/father has passed away. I had to attend another funeral service for a dear friends' father this morning at the same time so I was unable to attend. May all of you find peace in knowing how much he cared for each of you and that it was returned to him. I know there are trying times ahead but remember the love that will be everlasting in your hearts.
