April:
I grieve for your loss, but have joy in that Mark has no more pain and has a new body that is eternal without blemish. I have gone through the burden and joy of full-time care for a spouse's terminal illness, so I have empathy in what you have gone through and are facing in your future, which may never be the same (mine isn't) and after four years now, I still think of my spouse daily.
The sun rises tomorrow, as we must, to face the joy of serving the Lord. As long as we are performing the Lord's work, we are immortal. Your mission to give life to God's creatures is a very special calling, and Mark would want you to continue that without the recent distractions.
I had been looking for the Obituary all week without finding it, so I am grateful and thankful that you sent it to me by text, as I very much did want to respond.
May God bless you and all of your endeavors bountifully, without measure. Your are building up crown in heaven.
Sincerely, with empathy,
Jimmy Parker
