Hello Dave,

I’ve thought many times about writing to you and your family, but each time I find myself dumbfounded by what to say during this time.  All I’ve known to do is pray, and while that counts for a lot, I think we’ve all learned a valuable lesson in what God can do.  The strength that all of you have displayed has been so amazing and such a wonderful testament to what daily living in God’s kingdom truly means.  Emily and I will keep praying for Irene and your family and I hope that this verse helps, although you might have heard it a lot recently.

Psalm 23:6
“Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, Amen.”

Jeremiah
