David, We were so sorry to hear of your loss. I had you on my mind the Sunday morning he was so sick in icu. They requested prayer for you and I knew the Lord had brought you to me for prayer. Well we serve a great big God and He knows what we need. Sorry I just found out about his death on the norton site. I have been sick with pnemonia and out of touch. Please forgive us. Much love and prayers. Darlene and Leon
