Meu especial sentimento e condolência para a família da Senhora Garnes, em especial para seu filho e meu amigo Ron Chambers. Que a Senhora Garnes descanse em paz. E que os familiares que ela deixou tenham o conforto de saber que a senhora repousa ao lado de Deus Pai.
My special feeling and sympathy for the family of Mrs. Garnes, especially for her son and my friend Ron Chambers. May Lady Garnes rest in peace. And that the relatives she left have the comfort of knowing that she is resting beside God the Father.
My very deepest condolences to the Family of Mrs. Garnes, and especially my good friend Ronnie Chambers. I’ve been close friends with Ron since we were roommates in Viet Nam. We’ve discussed his mother at length over the past several years, so I feel as if I knew her. No more pain, no more fears, no more tears, she has found peace at last in the arms of the Lord.
