Rich and family. I was saddened to hear of your dad’s passing. Sending my thoughts and prayers to you all.
Lesley, Dave, Mike and Mark….I am so sorry for your loss. Lots of prayers for all of you.
Right now, when your loss is so fresh, it may be difficult for you to imagine that this pain will ever go away. But in time the blessing of God’s unfailing love will soften the hurt you’re feeling and bring your heart the peace, comfort and hope that it needs to heal. How? Revelation 21:4 tells us that soon everything that causes us pain, including death, will be gone forever. We also have the hope of our loved ones being resurrected here on earth, as Acts 24:15 tells us. I do hope you find comfort in this.
Please accept my sincere condolences.
Lesley in my thoughts and prayers
Leslie , Dave, Michael and Mark:
Jimmy, my dad and I were so sad to hear of your father’s passing. My dad remembers him well. He enjoyed working with him at Marlin and he enjoyed their talks at the little league games. Sending you all (especially you Leslie) hugs and prayers of strength at this difficult time.
So very sad when our parents are both gone. Now they are together watching over us. My love to you Lesley. Stay strong🌹🌹
My love and prayers to you Lesley and to your family.
