So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God
I am sorry for your loss. I have known
Sonny all my life, he came to our home when my dad died and he was visibly upset. I will keep you in my prayers
Dear family....I know that your loss is great, and that this dear man will be sorely missed. I can imagine him now, walking the streets of gold, and how many, many people already in heaven (including my first husband, Howard Ivy and our infant son, Jason Ivy) will come up to him and say things like: "Remember when we were struggling, and you let us charge groceries in the store?" Or, "Remember when you changed that flat tire, and would not even let me pay you?" What an incredible legacy he left behind for the family and for those of us who have been recipients of his kindness and his generosity over the years.
Aunt Barbara, our prayers are with you and the family. We love you very much.
Chuck, We are very sorry to hear about your dad. Please accept our deepest sympathies. Praying for you and your family my friend.
Harvey & Vickie
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for the Lord to wrap his arms of comfort around you and give you peace and comfort.
Mrs Drennon and family,
I hated to hear of the passing of Mr Drennon. My prayers
are with you at this difficult time. May God bless and give each
of you peace.
