Thanks, John.  His mom Ricki certainly did train him up in the way he 
should go, and is still a strong testimony to God's grace in her own 
life.  His Dad Mark has turned to faith in the Lord in recent years 
too, and is also a testimony to His grace.  Mark, Jeremy, and Amanda 
take Jeremy's little girl Bonnie to church even when Ricki is feeling 
too poorly to attend.
