Chris,

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I'm going to be praying, and of
course, we'll pray for you tonight and on Saturday night. I'm praying right
now.

Chris, I'm so glad you are standing by your Dad. He needs you right now.
Just show him all the Love that you have for him. He needs you so badly. I
know you will listen, when he needs to talk. I'm praying for both of you!
It isn't easy, but God will see you both through this.

We love you, too! <squeeze.

You can call me if you want to talk.

Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
