Marlen and Family;;
Marie and I were sorry to hear of Ruth’s sudden death..We love you all and will be praying for you. We were out of town when this occurred and did not learn of her death until we returned. Sorry we could not have been there.
To the Pressley Family:
I would like to say I am sorry for your loss. I know how you must feel and I am terribly sorry.
Dear Carolyn and Family,
We are sorry for the loss of your Mother. Our thoughts are with you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you suffer your tremendous loss. But heaven is that much sweeter as we look forward to again being with our loved ones and never having to say goodbye again. God never said our path would be easy, but He did say He would walk it with us. May He bring you peace during this time and the days ahead.
