We don’t have a coffee lounge anymore but I think of many of you as my “LJ family”. Last night I sat by my father (age 89) as he peacefully slipped away to be with his Lord. He was a fine Christian man and I know he is in a better place and I know his pain is finally over. Nonetheless, I will miss him greatly. -- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker.
