Oh Phil,
I am so sorry, mostly for George and his wife. Losing a child has to be
one of the hardest griefs that a person is asked to bare. My heart really
goes out to them and, yes, I am praying for God's peace and wisdom to fill
them at this time. Even now, Lord Jesus, even now, healing is possible
with You.
God bless,
Kathy
