October 24, 2016 at 8:27 amSo very sad to hear. I have been praying for you all almost daily for over 4 years. Words are inadequate at such times. May God comfort your hearts somehow, some way. The Kingdom has lost a unique, bright and shining light in an evil, evil world. God deliver us all from evil as we obey Him until His Kingdom come. Robert Alan Balaicius
