Comfort
There is a day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night,
And grief shall bide and evening guest
But joy shall come with morning light.For God hath marked each sorrowing day
And numbered every secret tear,
And Heaven’s long age of bliss shall pay
For all his children suffer here.William Cullen Bryant

Dear cousins Donna and Linda, I’m thinking about you both and sending big hugs your way. Uncle Jack was the kind of relative that always made me smile. I can hear his infectious laugh, even after all these years. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you both, but you’re in my thoughts. Mom and Jack can get into some fun now on the other side. XO
