Kathleen, you have my condolences. I didn’t know your father but over the past 25 years or so I have come to know what a wonderful person you are and I can well imagine your father had a part in that. Laura and I are here for you and Dave if you need anything.
I met David Sr as part of the family of his daughter in law,
Hiam. He was certainly along his wife Gwen, a discovery for me.
It was very pleasant meeting as for the first time I had; born Americans
in my family
They were affectionate, very sympathetic
for my job loss at Compaq/HP, and became upbeat and happy
when I landed a job again.
Hope you will hear the voice of the son of God, as written in John 5:25
Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.”
