Our prayers continue for the Raborn family. May God’s Word and His Holy Spirit (the “Comforter”) provide strength, comfort, and assurance.
Melvin & family members I am so sorry to read of Jerry’s death. He & I were email “buddies” for a while. Members of the Raborn family will be in our thoughts as you begin your adjustments to living your daily lives without Jerry. May God be with you in every step.
