    Kathy,
    I was so saddened to hear that Virginia had passed away. I was just looking at your/her last christmas card on my desk last week and was trying to come up with some more stories and jokes to share with her for my next letter.

    Thank you for letting me know, despite the sad news, I am grateful that you informed me of her passing.

    I have a lot of very fond memories of Virgina. I will miss her. What a lovely, witty, kind, and wonderful lady she truly was!

    Jon Stake

  14. Nadia condolence:

    To the Swinehamer family, I’m very sorry for your loss. No matter how much time passes we still feel the loss of our loved ones and view death as God does, an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) May you find comfort and strength in his promise at Revelation 21:3,4 that shows soon there will be no more death, and we can see our loved ones again. Please accept my deepest condolences.
