Condolences

Donna and family... Joyce Estep, formerly of Maple Lane in CH here... I just saw this on the internet and wanted to let you know I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is when you feel you have lost a friend or a member of your family, but I think it must be especially hard to part with a parent or a child. Grieve as you need, but then let your heart rejoice and know that tho' he is gone from our sight, he is happy in and well in God's sight... Thinking of you and praying for you in this difficult time, Donna...
