"I just wanted to share an encouraging scripture with your family at John 5:28,29 it says "do not marvel at this because the hour is coming on which all those in memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". This is definitely a time that all of us wait for, to see our loved ones again. "

"John,Scott,TJ,Beth--you don't have to be told how great Val was, she would bite her tongue gritt her teath and make it through the hard times and never say a word-she never wanted to bother anyone with her pains-if we could all be as strong as she was..Sorry ain't any help and yet its the one thing you hear the most and sometimes the only thing that can be spoken. We are praying for your strength to make it through these following times-Gods hands to your hearts, blessings and comfort for you all."
