Honey & JP,
My sincerest sympathy to all the family. Katherine was always very kind to me. I visited her a few times last year but she was always asleep. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Ron & Honey,
We were so sorry to hear of Mrs. Tiller's passing. It seems that the longer our parents are with us, the harder it is when they go to be with the Lord - which is where Mrs. Tiller is right now. What a comfort!
May the Lord grant you peace, comfort and strength as you go through this most difficult time.
