My sympathy goes to the Bass family: At times like these it is only God who can speak the words that calm the sea, still the wind,and ease the pain. So lean on Him and you will never walk alone. Trusting that the lord will be very close to you now,and hoping it comforts you to know that your loved one is safe in His arm. your friend from day one and classmate . Angela Davidson and Family
