ditto prayers
can we avoid that kind of thing on this one thread? A man has passed away and his family is in mourning.
God does all things well.
Spare us your commentary, please...
Father of white house advisor "Valarie Jarret dies".
We come into this world and make our parents happy we leave and leave our children to grieve.
May he rest in peace. My condolences.
My heart aches for anyone who loses a parent/s. I lost both of mine and while I am glad neither suffered... they left an empty place inside my heart.
Rest in peace.
If Jarrett focuses on her grief, at least she will have less time thinking up schemes to destroy the nation.
If Jarrett focuses on her grief, as she should, at least she will have less time thinking up schemes to destroy the nation.

Condolences to Ms. Jarrett and her family.
