Tom, I am praying for you, your son and your family. May God give you comfort at your brothers loss. This note from you is just one more reminder to me that we are all headed in that direction. Therefore it is wise to remember we are all accountable to God in the end. Blessings to you and your son and your family. Jim Gresham
