My mom is likely entering the home stretch of her earthly journey. Multiple illnesses and hospitalizations over past month have taken a toll. Going to be evaluated for hospice care today. In your charity, if you wouldn’t mind saying a prayer for her soul. My thanks in advance.

This morning at 2:08 AM, we lost my dad from this world. He died in comfortable peace with family close by, in his own home as he hoped. A kind, godly great grandfather who loved, guided, and provided for his own and others. He was the best man I've known. I love you dad. RIP.
