I send my heartfelt sympathy to all of the Mouser family. Although I am friends with Mr. Mouser’s daughter, Mary Alice, I had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Mr. Mouser and his son one day at the barbershop, while waiting with my husband. I witnessed great love between the two, and it was something that really touched my heart. I am sure that it is the embodiment of the kind of love that flows between all of you. May God comfort you during this difficult time.
I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord strengthen and give you peace during this difficult time. Your are in my prayers. Always, Ava
