Thank you for loving, caring for and praying for the part of your family whom Art was. While in a working relationship with him at Walmart, it was a joy to see his eyes light up and his spirit brighten as he confessed his faith in God. It was a comfort, that only God could give through one of His own because of Christ, to hear Art share that I was in His prayers. RJE/Walmart Associate
