    Christmas Day is right around the corner now and its hard to imagine what the thought process is for various people who are set to Celebrate the Holiday with their loved ones but to not take a moment to acknowledge that Tammy Tobler and her family are feeling an emptiness this week would be unacceptable to me.

  If there’s anything that might help, its the thought that Jeff and his Mother are together now after her recent passing.

  Tammy, know that you are Loved by many and your pain is our pain. 💘

Luke 2:9-10
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
