    Dear Bonnie,
    When we heard that Reese was in the hospital we began to pray for both of you. We praise God that your husband has received the ultimate healing that comes from our Great Physician.
    And now we pray for you as you walk through this difficult time. May you feel the comfort that your Abba Father offers you. We pray that your memories bring you joy and that the hope we have in eternity brings you peace.
    In Christ,
    Ken and Rhonda Reinhardt
