    Virginia and Cathy I am so sorry for you loss. We will always remember the good times, especially when we all got together at the log house on holidays. God has called another angel home to have ever lasting peace. I am so sorry that I cannot come with Amel, but I can't be in the car very long. We are praying for both of you and know you will find comfort in the Lord. Love and prayers, Ann and Amel
