[Magdalen] a death in the family--prayers please

[Marion Thompson]

Oh, Jay!  Words fail.   May Adam now be at rest in the peace that seemed 
to elude him for so long.  May you and your family  and all who love 
Adam be comforted.  Know that the golden hammock of our prayers rocked 
by God is waiting to ease your heart and soul.

Hugs galore for you and yours.

Marion, a pilgrim
