    " My deepest condolences to Toni upon the loss of her husband, the Rev. John C. Fortune. You both have been active, pastoring a church in Douglas, and before that, in the early 1980's we attended the same church there. You and John have been such a strong Christian witness for many years, and impacted many hearts for Christ. I will always treasure your friendship and deep faith and love for all of us. I pray your large family and church family will buoy you up during this sad time. Thank God we do not have to grieve as those with no hope.
    Please tell me more about the Fortune Bible Fund, Toni, if you read this, and confirm the mailing address. "
