Our condolences Janet on the passing of your dad. Bert and Janet, I wish you all the best in the healing of this sorrow. The Lord has granted your dad’s wishes, and is now happily celebrating his joy in the Lord.
It was difficult, and I can imagine the weeks that were so long for you all, but especially for him.
We are so grateful that God has answered his and your prayers!
