Dear JASMINE AND BABY AVERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. WE ARE THINKING ABOUT YOU. KENT LUTHER AND LYNDA SAYLES
Dear Kenn and family,
We are very sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your family have been in our prayers during this very hard time. We are praying for strength and comfort for you and your family. Please let us know if we can do anything for you.
Glenn,
Our love and sympathy are with you and your family in the loss of your loved one. We pray that God will comfort you.
Mr. Burrell has been a wonderful friend and neighbor to us for many years. We are going go greatly miss talking with him through the hedges and pretending not to see him feeding our dog through the fence or slipping our daughter candy. A truly good, hardworking man that cannot be replaced. Our condolences to all family and friends of this great man.
It was said for me to hear of Mr. Burrell’s passing. They were wonderful neighbors and our children loved both Mr. and Mrs. Burrell. I would like to express my sympathy for the family but he will forever live in my memory as well as my children. I look forward to him being my ‘heavenly neighbor’ when I see him there…you are in my prayers.
Kenn, JB, and family….We have just lost the last of our original neighbors with the passing of Jay. He has been a great neighbor and will be greatly missed. It won’t be the same knowing that we can’t just walk across the street and talk to him. God Bless all of you during this difficult time. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Kenn, I am sorry to hear about your father. I know this must be hard for you and your family.
