Condolences

Betsy, my heart is filled with deep sorrow to hear of Sandy's passing. I prayed for his recovery and that God would grant each of you the strength to help him through his sickenss. God in His infinite wisdom has chosen to take Sandy into His heavenly home where he he will suffer no more. I will continue to pray for you and the children during this time of profound grief.

I am so sorry to hear of Sandy's passing. He was a very good man that loved his family dearly. I had tremendous respect for him and always trusted his integrity. He loved life and deserved more. He was so excited about his retirement - getting time to spend with his family, playing golf with his dad, participating in the Shriner parades - he deserved more. I miss him. I pray he is in a better place. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Betsy,

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to you, John, Rachel and the family. I cannot say that I know exactly how you must feel; however, I can say that I care and pray that God will comfort you all and give you peace. Sometimes we do not always understand the "why" of this life; but I have always believed that one day we will see our loved ones again -- that this is just a temporary parting, just like our physical bodies only house our spirits temporarily. Know that we love you and you can always call anytime. Love, Debbie Brown

God is my source of existence and my savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day. W/out Him, I am nothing, but with him, I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me (Phil 4:13)....I pray that you and the kids find strength and comfort in our Lord. Bless you all, always~
Love, Michelle and Kyleigh Bell

I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to Betsy, Rachel, John, and the rest of Sandy's family. I worked with Betsy for 20 years and got to know Sandy some and know he was a good person and a devoted family man. It's tragic that he would be gone so soon after he and Betsy retired. I'll keep you all in my prayers.
