  1. Nancy, I’m so sorry to learn of your mom’s home going. What a reunion she had with your precious daddy. I’m praying for you all. Love and hugs.

  2. Dear Family, wishing you comfort. Imogene is right where she wants to be, with her lord Jesus Christ! Our hearts are with you as are our prayers. If you need anything please let us know. Love to you all, Grover and Margaret Brown

  3. To the family, I am sorry for the grief that you are feeling.
    Knowing of God’s enduring love for you, continue to look to him when he ” will wipe out all tears from eyes, death, suffering, and pain will be no more. ” Revelation 21:3,4
    He says death is an ” enemy that will be brought to nothing. ” 1 Corinthians 15:26
    How comforting to know that this will be a thing of the past and through Christ Jesus a resurrection for our loved ones.

    love

  4. Alan. I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it to the service. I Had to work. Losing our parents is so hard. But at least they are now together in Heaven. Sending hugs and prayers to you and Nancy.
