Very sorry for your loss. I hope you can find some comfort from the words at Psalms 147:3 that says; "He is healing the broken hearted ones and is binding up their painful spots." God as the hearer of prayer will comfort you in the days ahead as you remember Mr. Anderson.

It's hard for me to even remember life without Von being a part of it. He has been a part of so many important events in my family. We have sat in way to many hospital rooms together. We have laughed till we were in tears about the crazy things people do. Von was the same person no matter where I saw him, be it work, Walmart or church. Over 25 plus years I watch him change his outlook on church and God to being just something that he did because Sheila wanted him to, to being something that he loved, lived for and truly enjoyed. To my family he has been the the definition of a true friend, he would do whatever was needed for the situation we were in. So we will truly miss our dear friend, but we know he is just go to go ahead of us because he was always very adamant for getting to places early! Love and prayers for the days ahead to Tina, Tommy and Becky, know you were all truly loved and cherished by Von!
