Dear Cathy, I'm sorry for your loss, old friend. I'm confident that surely as Jesus, our Redeemer lives, we will meet our lost ones again in Heaven. I'd pay my respects, but I can't because I have to work FT as RPh at CVS Cantrell. Please, let's catch up, ok. Again, Cathy, my condolences to you and your family, God's Blessings, Vic.
