Dear Norma and family: I was so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. I have some happy memories of being at your home many years ago. I moved to Kingston from Smiths Falls over 9 years ago and only get back maybe once a year. I can't drive very far any more. You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I pray that you will feel our loving heavenly Father's arms around you in the days and months ahead. Here is a little poem that I love to read when I think of my husbands Paul Boisvenue, and Clarence (Rick) Richey: ONLY A STEP Do not grieve for me, my dear ones Now that I have gone away, I've only quietly stepped thro' the door to the dawn of a brighter day. If you could see the beauty of the garden I'm walking thro', If you could feel the touch of His hand, You'd want to walk here too. If you could see the sunshine with no dark shadows lurking near, If you could know the joy supreme, I find with my Lord so dear. Where pain no more can touch me, Where no sorrow can ever be, You'd be glad I slipped away to this beautiful land of Eternity. With my love and sympathy, Lois Richey
