Our house is a reminder of the both of you. I always brag about how well built it is and how convenient all the storage is. People who have not seen it before are amazed and envious. I tell them the house was built for the carpenter and his wife and she had good ideas! I have a conflict so I will not be able to attend the service. We will keep the family in our prayers. God Bless you all.
