"We are so sorry for your loss. The death of a love one can be extremely difficult to cope with. Many have found comfort through the promises found there in Gods word the Bible especially the promises found there at 1Cor.15:26 and Acts 24:15. The Bible repeatedly speaks about the elimination of death and a time when we will see our love ones again. Take comfort in those verses mentioned earlier and do know our prayers are with you during this difficult time...Mary Ann"
In loving memory of
