    Words are simply not adequate to express the feelings that need to be conveyed to all of you. It must be enough to say that you will be in my thoughts and prayers and that my wish is that you will find comfort in time to deal with this overwhelming loss. Love, Martha Jane

    Mary,

    Tom and I were overwhelmed when we received the news about Hunter. Joy had sent me a text message which I did not read until late, last night 11/22. Please know we will be praying for you and your family at this difficult time. We send our love and trust God will abundantly comfort you as you draw near to Him.

    Much love,
    Patsy and Tom
