    So sorry for this loss to your family. It is hard to loose parents, especially in a 2 month time frame. Tim’s Mom and now Annette’s Dad.

    In my thoughts and prayers during this time of loss.

    John 16:33 – “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
