Our most heartfelt condolences.
I have wonderful memories of Uncle JF. Trips to the beach so long ago certainly top the list. Fishing, crabbing, stories and laughter with my father, mom and Aunt Belle. How I miss those days.
To Joan, Bob, Uncle Mack, grandchildren and the many others who loved Uncle JF, our sincere condolences and prayers for comfort through God’s love and His Word.
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’ Revelation Chapter 21, Verse 4
I will miss my wonderful Dad each day of the week…I love him so…and God did not create a better man!
