First Snow

Good Morning... First snow here in PA, everyone be careful. Hectic week here that was marred by several losses of life. They included dear family friends and a young man whom I coached for several years. We will all face loss, and it is never easy. It is unfortunate how frequently these events occur in bunches. The finality really makes you rethink your daily trials and tribulations. We can find solace in knowing that the pain we feel now will diminish, and we will one day be meet again. I hope the cherished memories within our hearts provide solace and that our faith reassures us of a reunion when the time is right. In these times, we must depend on our faith in God more than ever. I know this is difficult, but it will lead to greater peace than anything else. I pray for peace and comfort for everyone experiencing loss. I hope you will say an extra prayer as well. Make it a Great week. Chanukah Sameach! Only 12 days until Christmas. JITIY
