Vivian,
Every Sunday without fail Earl upon spying someone he knew would ring out"Well hi, and their name" I will miss terribly the 'Well hi, Kris' and the genuine welcome and interest in how things were going. But how we all look forward to that very greeting as we meet again in God's presence. I pray Jesus makes His presence known to you every moment of every coming day and helps you through this time of grieving. 61 years is a long wonderful marriage ... and eternity is even better. With deep love and affection.
