Richard, when I got back into town today I saw the notice in ClergyNet that your mother had died. Please accept my condolences. I know that over the years you have provided hundreds of families with love and support during times of grief and loss. My hope and prayer is that the members of your congregation will now offer you some of the same kind of love and support that you have provided so many of them. Please give my best to both Yvonne and Jen and know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come.
