Late condolences from me too.
On the other hand, saying good bye with almost 88 was surely not bad. Another strong old family. . .
Lots of memories to digest coming up over there, I suppose. . .
May they be fruitful after all.

Such a heroic man. I'm sure he was a wonderful family man for Jill when she was growing up and later a very proud and giving grandfather.
My deepest sympathies to the Moore and Gabriel families.
I wish them that deep peace beyond understanding.
