Charles and Family, you all are in our thoughts and prayers. We have known you both for many years and know the strength that each of you has shown. Working with Claudette for many years is like losing a long lost family member. She was always a strong and dedicated person with anything she wanted to accomplished. I can't but think of her love for the lighthouses and so glad she got to see as many as she could. With all our thoughts and prayers for you all.

Uncle Charles & Family
This is sent with the deepest sympathy. I will never forget all the nice times together with all the family. I am also certain there is another family reunion going on in heaven, where we will all be. When we are called.
Aunt Claudette will be greatly missed. But I know she is free of all the pain and suffering.

My love to all of you,
Joe, John and his family.

When death separates family members, such great loss can result in deep sorrow. Even the perfect man Jesus gave way to tears when his friend, Lazarus, died even though he knew that he had the power and he intended to bring him back to life. Therefore, it is natural to experience sadness when death claims someone you love but all hope is not lost because 1Cor 15:26 says that the "last enemy death is to be brought to nothing. Until then, you can draw close to God for comfort and "he himself will sustain you."

With deepest sympathy.

Mr. Sadler, Cindy, Cathy & David - I am very sorry
to hear about your mama. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. If there is anything I can do, please call me. She is in a better place now and free of pain. I haven't seen her in quite a while, but I saw a lot of her during our high school years.
