Leteff family,
I am so sad to hear of the loss of your father and husband. He inspired so many people with his gentle spirit and faithfulness to God. He now rests with his Lord and Savior. Meanwhile, my prayers are for his family, for comfort, peace, strength, hope, and discernment.
Jaimie, Janet, Heather, and grandchildren, may God bless you and comfort you as you grieve for your loved one. A Life Well Lived.
