Dear Peggy and Family:
We want you to know we have lifted you and your family up in prayer today for the loss of your Mother, Evelyn. I have fond memories of her and Clarence and I pray that God will give you peace and comfort now and the days ahead. She is gone from you now but God gives you the memories and love for her to hold on to until you will see her again in Heaven. We wish we could be there to see all of you but due to having to work we will just have to keep praying for you. Please know that you are loved and hopefully soon we will be able to get up there to see you.
God Bless you all,
Love, Judy and Clarence Owenby

When God Calls Our Love Ones Home
By H.Rice
We feel so sad when those we love
Are called to live in the home above
But why should we grieve when they say goodbye and go to dwell in a cloudless sky
For they have but gone to prepare the way
And we’ll meet them again some happy day
For God has told us we’d be together
In a better place He calls forever
So let His promise help soften your sorrow and bring you new strenth for a brighter tomorrow.
Lee and Peggy,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We will remember you in our thoughts and prayers. If we can help in any way please let us know.
Phillip, Becky and Tanner Wolfe
Peggy and Lee and Deanna and John,
Please know that our love is with you. We can’t be with you in person but you and the rest of your family are in our thoughts and prayers. With Love, John and Nola
Our deepest condolences and prayers are with you.
