Dear family, sorry for the loss of someone so dear to you but death is our last enemy to be brought to nothing 1corinthians 15:26 Just remember that our Heavenly Father is close to the broken-hearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit, and gives you real comfort. Psalm 34:18

Michelle, Chris, Brad, and Shelby; even though I hadn’t talked to Joe in years I knew I could call him. He always checked on us kids growing up. I have only good memories including Joyce who I remember fondly. She was always so understanding. God bless you all and help you thru this time. Pam

My sincerest condolences go out for your loss, it’s never easy losing a beloved one. May you find comfort in God’s promise found in Revelation 21:4 where he says “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.” This verse has always given me some peace, but especially when I experienced loss. Hopefully it can do the same for your family.
