Dear Dora, I received word from Joan Higgs of the loss of your husband. As we have made our journey in life, many joys and much pain. As you hurt in your loss may your children and grandchildren give you love and comfort. My prayers go to the Lord for you and may you feel the arms of Jesus holding you. One day a great joy will come when we are all together in His Kingdom.
Sooo sorry for your loss Erin and family. I know life does not seem fair. We certainly do not know all the answers of Gods plans. Many wishes, thoughts and prayers for all of you as you try to remember only the beautiful memories shared that will fill the void in your heart and give you some peace. At least knowing he is suffering no longer will give you some comfort over time, this is my hope for Steve his mom and all of you. Deepest sympathy to you all, Donna and Gary
We were very sad to hear of the news about Greg. He was always so friendly and such a sweet man. He will be missed but you have wonderful memories.
