Dear Pat,
My prayers and sympathy are with you for your loss of David. While looking for David’s obituary here, I saw that your husband died a few months ago. So my concern is multiplied for you. I do hope you are well. Many times I have a desire to go back these many years into our young lives.
Sincerely,
Rev. Mary Etta (Latshaw) Mest
