Sandra, I just found out about Guy’s passing. I am so sorry and know exactly how you feel since my wife Connie passed on December 3. I thank the Lord for every moment he granted me in her company, and am sure you do also with Guy. We know they are now with Jesus watching over us, but it is hard not to miss them. I am letting my memories of Connie make me feel her presence and then the sadness is less, You and your family are in my prayers. God bless you.
