Condolences

Dear Mike and family,

Your mom was very special to me. From the time Nick and Rebecca started dating SEVERAL years ago until the last time I had the blessing of sitting and chatting with her, I felt loved by a woman that loved the Lord more than life itself! Praise the Lord that she is now sitting at her Savior's feet, praising Him 24/7! I wish I could have been there with you all, but the timing did not allow for me to come. I have continued to pray for you all through this time, and will continue to do so.

We love you all!

Brenda and Jeff Daniels

Dear Rebecca,
We are so sorry for your loss. After having just dealt with the passing of my mom, I totally understand how you feel. Our peace truly does come from the Lord. He gives us everything we need. Just knowing that our loved ones are in heaven with Him right now is so soothing to the heart and soul. My prayers are with you and Nick and your whole family. If there is anything I can do, just let me know.

Dear LeRoy and Family:

I realize at a time like this, there is very little one can do or say.
But, I do want you to know you have my deepest sympathy.

God needed another angel so he called Betty home.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love, Elizabeth
