Aunt Jeanne,
So sorry to here about Art. May you find peace in the knowledge that he lives on in eternity and will love you forever. You will see him again soon. Here is a scripture of God's Comfort.
2 corinthians 1:3 He is the Father of compassion and the God of all Comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles. Love Tammy
Art will always be my "Dad" in WI. He gave me a listening ear and shoulder to lean on when I felt so very alone. He always knew somehow what to say. He loved giving me a tough time about the vikings when the packers kicked their butts and I gave it right back when the vikings kicked the packers butts. I will hold him in my heart and treasure each and every memory. I wish I could be there with my family in this time of loss. Love all of you!!
