This sad news revives fond memories of a splendid gentleman.
Dear Peggy,
I just heard about your father,
and my heart breaks for you and your
family. You are in my prayers. I lost a brother and a grandmother that raised me and was dear to me.
Just remember that God will not put any more on us than we can stand, and I know that there are Angels right there with you to take your
pain. I pray that they will take and hold your family during this sad time and give you the strength
that you need and also start to mend your broken hearts. I can’t be there for you, but you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything that I can do, please let me know. Even if it is just to talk, I’m a good listener.
God Bless,
Loretta Hutchinson
