My dad was always my fortress in my life. When troubles came, he was there. We never worried if we would be taken care of for we knew we would even after we were older. He had a quiet, simple love that you never doubted. Lord I lift him to you and I will miss him dearly His Daughter
Patricia and I were sad to hear the news of your Dad’s home going. We have been praying for you especially hard with your Mom passing away just a short time before. Keep us aware of whatever else we can do to support you in this time! 🙂
Debbie, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Our hearts are saddened, due to the loss of two Dear and Special neighbors. William & Mildred were so special to us, They were just like family. Our neighborhood will be so lonesome without them. But we know that they are together and Happy. Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
