We are so sorry to hear of Bro. Orville's passing. We loved and admired him. He held a special place in our hearts, not only for being our pastor but also because he married us.

I'm so sorry to hear of Orville’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dear father in law in August 2017. After my loss, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW
