George, Tony and I thank you for being so good to my mother, Erika. She misses you and your daily phone calls greatly. We always enjoyed your visits to Colorado and I enjoyed seeing you in Seattle. You and my mother had 14 good years together visiting Europe and many other wonderful trips, as a couple. You will always have a special place in my heart.
To the Family: I am so sorry for your loss. The death of a loved one is never an easy matter for any of us to cope with, but we do have the assurance of our Heavenly Father that he will comfort us in all our tribulations. (Psalms 55:22) Death was never a part of the Creator’s purpose for mankind, so, he has furnished a guarantee by means of his Son, Christ Jesus, that we will see our loved ones again. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28) I pray that you may draw comfort from these words.
