Dear Holly, Our thoughts are with you and the whole family at this difficult time. Please know that you will be in our prayers now and in the days to come.
Dear Aunt Katie, Holly, and Allison, We were so sorry to hear of the loss of Uncle George. His love will live on in all of you and your families. May God wrap his arms around you during this difficult time. You will be in our prayers. Dave and Debbie Fails
Dear Holly, Mark and family, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” Jesus words still remain the greatest comfort knowing we will meet again in heaven. I pray that you and your family will be aware of the Lord’s great love especially in these next days. Love, Patricia
