It’s been many years since I last saw Mac. He and your Mom used to come to the grocery store where I worked. You were just very young kids. May God bless your family. Will remember you all in prayer.
Morris family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere sympathies. It is sad to learn that you’re mourning the loss of your dear loved one McKinley and it saddens our God even more. No doubt, you have many fond memories that will resurface at times. Know that Almighty God has memories as well. With full confidence, you can take comfort in knowing that he longs to restore perfect life to all those safe in his loving memory. (John 5:28,29) You will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Lynn and Gene, my condolences for the loss of your father. I know he appreciated your love and care in his last years. May peace and grace be with you all.
