My sincere condolences with the passing of your father and step-father, My first thoughts were "Janet is safe at Shalom". Janet belonged to our group of friends and when she got married we "adopted" Henry to our group as well. Also enjoyed being in a Bible study group with Henry and Janet for many years.
May the lord comfort you.
