    My sincere condolences to your family. May you find comfort in the promise of Revelation 21:4 of a time when death will be no more and loved ones will be reunited.

    Lynn - I just learned this morning of your mom's passing and to say I am shocked and saddened is a vast understatement. I saw her only a few weeks ago and she looked marvelous and we talked and laughed as always. The first thing out of her mouth has always been, "How are my boys?" She treated each of the little Balfour boys and girls as someone very special. I have fond memories of working side by side with her and the other ladies starting days in advance preparing for and serving the annual turkey dinner fundraiser. And she was there the last day of each school year flipping burgers with your dad. I don't think she ever stopped missing him. I like to think they're together now. You and your family are blessed to have had such a light in your lives. I loved her and will miss her, too.
