Larry and family,sorry to read about the loss of your dad,I’ll keep you and your family in my prayers.
Larry and Joan –
You are in my prayers as you navigate this difficult road. May God give you the peace and strength that only He can provide.
Larry…. Gone from our sight here on this earth, but never from our memories! May you all be surrounded by those memories that you made and shared with this sweet man. God placed you together as a FAMILY, and the kind and loving care that you and Joanie have given both your Dad and Mom, is a mirror reflection of your parents love for you. Our prayer is that you will be surrounded by the peace that only God’s love can bring. We send our love to your family and will be holding you all close in thought and prayer! Rod and Linda
Ruby and family, we are so sad to learn of the passing of PL. Howard thought the world of PL, and he was a blessed man to have ninety-four years on the earth with us. Heaven is going to be so sweet! Prayers for all of you now and in the coming days. -Howard Sams and family
