I have wonderful memories of your family and of being great neighbors and all the talks Gladys and I use to have. She always filled me in on your families and the grand kids. You were so blessed and she was so proud of all of you. She touched so many lives.

    When a loved one dies, family and friends feel a great loss. It is my hope to share a comforting thought. In the Bible book of John 11:11,14 Jesus likens death to sleep. Thinking of our loved ones as in a deep sleep brings peace of mind. Further words of Jesus at John 5:28,29 open a great hope. He says, “Do not marvel at this, because all those in the memorial tombs will hear his(Jesus) voice and come out to a resurrection…” What a wonderful promise and sure future for those asleep in death. May you find comfort and peace at this time of loss. We express our deepest sympathy.
