Dear Rhonda,

I love that.

I'm praying for you and Ben.

You have been through a lot, and God has been with you through it all.

God always makes things right.

We've had our struggles, too and it's not easy to forgive some times, but
I'm glad I've forgiven those who have hurt me. This does include the dearest
to me, my loving Vernon.



Thanks much.

Many Blessings,

Pat Ferguson
