    Larry and Susan, The glory of the Lord is so often revealed in and through His people. I have seen God's Glory in and through you all. Thank you for letting me share in this journey with you all. What joy and what sorrow---but what hope. I will always remember driving you, Susan, and Brent around and discovering new areas of Henderson Co. that I never knew existed. When I think of Brent I think of his glowing and radiant smile. He was so blessed to have you two as parents. I have his paper flowers right next to me now. I will cherish them always and remember the comfort they were to my mom before she died. Babs
