Linda, Lynn and I are thinking of you during this difficult time. We think of you and the "old Draper gang" with fond memories quite often. Passing on is only another stage of life. It doesn't end there! We are not wise enough to realy know what comes next but I believe that something does and that something is good! Freddie and Lynn Reynolds

Sorry to hear of your loss. To lose a loved one at any age is hard and the time spent with them always seem so short. I hope that you will be able to draw close to God in prayer and the Bible promises that "he himself will sustain you."- Psalms 55:22 Also a scripture that brings comfort to me is Isaiah 25:8, "He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all their faces." May this promise be comforting to you along with your good memories.
