Strength from without...

I want to take a moment and send a little tribute. A close friend of my family's passed yesterday. We have known him and his family for 20+ years...amazing people who I have the great privilege to call friends. His daughters and I have grown up together and although much time has passed since I have seen them, they are still forever part of my "in-dopted" family. The daughter who is my age recently posted on facebook some of her feelings about her father's passing and her unwaivering faith and strength gives me strength as well. She shared the peace she feels at this time and knows that this is all part of our Heavenly Father's plan. What an amazing woman, such a testament to the life her father lived and the principles he taught her.

Forever in our hearts, we love you James Duchene.
