Dear Rhonda,

Oh, Loving, i wish I could just put my arms around you and comfort 
you. I know exactly where you are coming from.

This is so hard for you, but Jesus will see you through it, and I 
really can relate to the worry, as well.

Tears aren't bad, either.

I will keep your Dad in my prayers, and you and Ben, also.


Thanks much.

Many Blessings,

Pat Ferguson
