[Oe List ...] Death of Chris Holcombe

[Herman Greene via OE]

Dear Wanda and George,

Oh what pain.

I remember a story from a sermon I heard when I was growing up. A family
had lost a child at 7 in a swimming pool accident. They were asked if they
were angry about the early death. They said no, that they were thankful for
the seven wonderful years that they shared the life of this child.

So we are thankful for the life of Chris as well.

Herman
