I have been away from the computer for a while(obviously). I did not know him, but it was VERY evident that he was a good man, husband, daddy and grandfather. I know the days ahead will be hard for all of you, but MANY people will cover all of you in prayer.<BR/><BR/>amandajajbshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120852834788254896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6294359979560548506.post-87367000004053098132008-11-07T18:23:00.000-08:002008-11-07T18:23:00.000-08:00I am so sorry for your loss.
