I feel a part of your family, and one of my “own” has departed to be with our Lord – but oh, how great the reunions we can look forward to. It may take time before you smile when you think of Mr. Jesse resting from his suffering and labors – until we all gather together on that great day. BE WATCHING THE CLOUDS – MUCH love –
