Dear Rayilyn, Thanks, and the site I built is for Dad, and in memoriam to him and to keep his name going. Our preacher had a great sermon today based on Ecclesiastes 7:1, and it encouraged me today. A good name is better than any material thing, like fine perfume (better than gold in those days). Dad's character was outstanding, and one thing about character is that no one can change it but yourself. Death establishes that character. I pray that when I die, that I will do so with a good name, like Dad. And I know that Dad resides in heaven, and when I get there one day, he will give me a big hug and a great smile! I heard my Dad's voice in that sermon, telling me to keep the faith, and be of good courage and to remember those that gave me love and encouragement, and I will never forget. Even if the website fails, I will always be Dad's son, and he will always be Dad. When I die, I will die with a good name, too. God bless and touch you Rayilyn Lee, I pray for you this very night for comfort, peace, and Gods' presence with you. My Moms favorite psalm upon Dad's death is very good, http://www.interviewwithgod.com/psalm23.htm and very special to me. My grandmother, whom I never met, died of breast cancer in 1952, 10 months before my very birth. (she suffered greatly, so very much). My Aunt Iris died recently and when I found her baptism papers, Psalm 23 was right there. Seems like Psalm 23 surrounds me and His word gives me life as I approach Him. http://www.interviewwithgod.com/psalm23.htm amen. with love Jeff http://dialforacure.com for Dad ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rayilyn Brown" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2002 7:59 PM Subject: Re: Dad, Thanksgivings and yes, ER and PD/thanks Jeff > Jeff, thanks for understanding me.
