Comforted by Their Presence

Ray and Judy Williamson's son, David, was killed in a fall at Red River Gorge several weeks ago. Speaking later, Ray said, "I used to wonder if I should go to the funeral home when somebody had a tragedy because I always feel so awkward and don't know what to say. But I'll never ask again. I'll always go. It's not what you say but your presence that makes the difference."
