To My Best Friend Shai and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Coot's passing, and I know it may seem impossible, but, God will comfort you during this time of sorrow.  God will never place more upon you than you are able to handle.  She has completed her Earthly duties, and God saw fit to call her home to bask in her heavenly reward.  Shai, I appreciate you inviting me to Americus, and allowing your family to become mine.  Each time I have visited, and we've gone to your Grandmother's, I cannot remember a time I did not get a good laugh from her wittiness or correcting my northern ways once I was down there.  I am here for you and will continue to pray for you as I do often.  I love you and pray that you remember "to be absent from the body, is to present with the Lord." I know she is in great hands.
