I pray that God will wipe away your tears and give you the strength to begin healing. Our heavenly Father promises that he is going to reunite us with our loved ones who has fallen asleep in death and “swallow up death forever”.

Ray and Jan were nice neighbors. We enjoyed visiting with them in the early days about their time in the service. Once Ray passed away, Jan gave Mike some of his tools and a dresser for our lake house. We appreciated her kindness and she seemed to enjoy seeing the view from our house on the lake. Reminded her of their home in Lakeview.
Our sincere condolences to Jan's family & Judy and Burl Clark, who help care for all of us.
