Dear Kim, Christian sympathy and prayers to you and the family during this time of loss. I pray the promise of Christ who said,"I am with you always," is your ongoing comfort and hope. Your dad was a wonderful example of Christian love and service as he cared for your mother. It was a privilege to have known him. God's blessings, Marcus Powers
