Raymond and family, I am saddened to hear of Theresa’s passing. I am sure that she is reunited with her beloved Philip, and that they are sharing in the just reward of our Lord Jesus, which they both so richly deserve. I am unable to be with you for her funeral, but rest assured that I pray for her and for you as well.
John
