Even in those funny moments (or maybe especially in those moments), your love for each other was so evident. I mourn for you and your whole family, and I pray for your peace and comfort in the days and weeks ahead.Leah St. Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004006100786260893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-5950067915408090132018-05-03T19:17:18.765-04:002018-05-03T19:17:18.765-04:00Vonnie, the power of your words has obviously move...Vonnie, the power of your words has obviously moved all of us--another crier here.
