Prayers & Kind Words

Thank you precious Sisters in Christ and friends...the comments and prayers are a tremendous blessing. I will print copies for my mother.

I left a couple of relatives out of the obituary which will appear in the Houston Chronicle today and tomorrow. Hopefully I can correct the obituary for tomorrow's edition.

I hope I have not forgotten to call or notify anyone...

We will sing many of dad's favorite songs tomorrow:

How Great Thou Art
Amazing Grace - My Chains Are Gone
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty
How Great is Our God
This is the Air I Breathe
I Love You Lord & I Lift My Voice

If any of these are one of your favorites, I hope the words get stuck in your head and you sing a little today with joy in your heart.

Love, Annette

Praying all is well Annette.
There isn't one of those songs I don't love. It will be a glorious celebration.

I just came over here to check on you, Annette. I love every single one of your dad's favorite songs. It should be a great celebration of his life. I'll keep you in my prayers.

I love those songs too. My dad's favorite was Amazing Grace, the hymn version as the new version hadn't come out yet. My father passed away in 1986. So I'm singing Amazing Grace in memory of our dad's. I'm praying for you and your family too.
Love in Christ our Lord,
Shonda
