    Saddened to hear of the passing of Grandpa Knowles. The kids and I just learned today of his passing. We know that everyone is going through a tough time and want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. He was loved and will be missed. I pray that God’s peace will be with everyone during this difficult time.
