Our dear Lorrie. So very sorry to hear of her passing. Mae, Debbie, Kim, Junior, Cheyenne, Rachael.... I will always remember her beautiful smile, her infectious laugh, and her love of music. So talented. Words are not enough, to be sure. Just know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Death is the enemy of all mankind, yet when it touches us personally, it is at times difficult to receive the comfort we search for. In times like these I know I can find comfort in God's word. In John 5:28,29 He tells us " Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." As the God and Father of tender mercies, He wants you to find comfort in Him through prayer ( 2 Cor 1:3 ).
