Anita, just learned of your mother's death. I have a treasure of cherished memories that have endured the passing of time by virtue of my blessed, and providential encounter, with the Lappin family. I remember, as if it were yesterday, seeing your mother sitting at the table, the first time I met her. She always had a story, and gracious hospitality was always in abundance. My love for the entire Lappin family remains profound.
Those days, those people, those times, were as pure, good, and innocent, as it gets this side of eternity. Comfort is in knowing the sure destination that awaits us. A place where those good times, and special people wlll be our reality, not for a day, but for an eternity.
God Bless, Anita, and to Gary, Janet, Debbie, and Ralph Jr.
