Sadness for the holidays............

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28


We received news early Monday morning (22nd) that Jim's mother, Eloise Dance, had passed away. She had been battling lung cancer and undergoing treatment. Thankfully, Jim had been able to visit and spend time with her the past two weekends.

We left Texas on Monday and stayed in Arcadia, LA. until after the service on Wednesday, Christmas Eve. The past few days haven't seemed like a holiday for us, but more a time for rest and healing.

Please keep Jim and his family in your prayers.

Please give Jim my deepest sympathy. The loss of a mother at any point in life is so terribly hard.

So sorry.....doesn't seem like much but I have learned through the years that it means a lot.
