Bob and Family, I will always remember the great times Daddy (Winton) talked about when you and Vera would come over to play cards, and when he could not get out any more the phone calls and visits. We are very sorry for your loss and will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Bob, Dale, Don, Dennis and family... May the Lord wrap His comforting love around each of you during this sad season...and may your many beautiful family memories bring you healing and comfort in the days, weeks, and months ahead. On our ride home yesterday, Mom Evey shared so many fun remembrances of spending time with your family over the 60 years she has known you. Trust the Lord to walk with you through the days ahead. You will be in our prayers.
