All my sympathy. How wonderful to include both mothers--a loving thought. I miss each and every one of you; you are all in my prayers and thoughts. I think I've known Desta as long for what, 21 years? Anthony, you are a great funeral director and will serve your family well--it was so evident during our brief time. I feel as though I am truly a member of the family and share your loss. I am only sorry I cannot be there for the services. I don't return from the seminary until the evening of 19 December. I look forward to seeing and hugging all of you.
All my love, sympathy and peace,
