    May the Lord be with you in this, your very difficult, time of grief. I wish that I could be with you, but as you all must know, it is quite difficult for me at this time. I love you all and may God give you the power to deal with your loss. It was also a great loss to me. This is an event that is inevitable for all of us and may we pray to make it as long as he did, providing we have the precious gift of health.
