To quote oldfrat (Brad) from a different thread...
"I did add my prayers, even though I was questioning the value of my prayers at the time as a result of losing my bride of nearly 47 years on 3/5."
It is not within our power to understand God's plan, I only hope that you can take comfort in the memories of the 47 years you and your bride shared together. I'm sure I speak for your entire FAOL family when I say, our thoughts are with you, sir.
