"Our hearts go out to you in this your time of loss and sorrow. At times like this very few words can be said that provide comfort and hope. At Daniel 12:2 we read,"And many of those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up, some to everlasting life and others to reproach and to everlasting contempt." May these words be of strength and hope for you and your family as they were for ours. JR"
In loving memory of
