    June, I just happened upon this. I’m so very sorry for the loss of your Mom. You and I are so close, yet so far away. If I ever heard about your Dad passing I didn’t remember, and I sure didn’t know about your brother. I thank God that you, like us, are surrounded by grandchildren who give us so much hope and purpose in our life. May God bless you with His grace and peace. I will be thinking of you as you endure this very sad time. Love to all your family. Judy Amos
