What a joy it was to sit down with the both of you to visit about the past. It made me happy during my own rough period.

Wilbur rests safely in God's care until that great day when His baptized children shall be raised for eternity just as Jesus promised. I am the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25) I pray that you will rely on that promise and find your Lord's comfort there.
