To the Mann family, I am so sorry for your loss and you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so glad Dave and his son were here last week and got to spend time with George. I had a great time playing cards with George and Dave.
Jay and Bev,
Our sympathy to you and your family.
Praying the Lord will comfort you with his strong, loving arms and surround you with his peace and love during this difficult time.
