    So sorry for your loss. First as a neighbor and then a best friend and confidant. Your parents were so nice to me and I got to spend a lot of time with them in my younger years. Your Mother was the best.

    To all the family, especially Paula, Chris and family, please know we are praying for you all and keeping you uplifted. We are assured that JESUS is sending His assurance, comfort and presence to you all. They are together again, finally. I will always remember them sitting together in church and they were so devoted to each other, but also, and most importantly, to God. Such an example and witness. Our hearts and prayers will remain with you all.
