Herman, Bobby, Randy, & Melissa:
Brian and Lance and ourselves would like to extend our sympathy to your family. I remember the words of one of our pastors when I said that God must have thought we were awfully strong as we were told he doesn’t give us more problems than we can handle. She stated He will not give you any more problems than He can help to lead you through. Lean on Him.
