Janet, I did not have the priviledge of knowing your husband. I went to school with Sandra and was in the choir with her. She was a sweet girl who loved her family dearly. I am so sorry for your loss. You all will be in my prayers. Posted by: Cindy (nee Blackburn) Hardy at April 3, 2007 11:59 PMThe Giffen Family has our sincere sympathy.

As Christians we sorrow, but not as those who have no hope. I had talked with Bill when he was on his way to Virginia, I assured him that we would be praying for your family. These are always difficult times, but I know that you will be sustained and comforted by the precious promises found in the word of God. All of your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Ron Laughery, Preaching Minister Janet, so sorry for your loss, we will all miss him, but he is home with the Lord now, no more pain. You are in our thoughts & prayers always.
