Jud-It's said God won't give you more than you can handle but it's things like losing your "sweetheart" Lynn that I know can put some doubt on that. It saddens me and Sandy to hear of Lynn's passing and please know you and your beautiful family are in our thoughts and prayers during this time. We talked about how you and Lynn were the first to welcome us back to Bristol, taking us to dinner our first weekend here. I'm praying for God's peace and comfort upon you folks at this time. Love, David & Sandy
