Ecclesiastes 3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die;. Lord we pray for strength for the family as they go through the days ahead. Bind them together in love and comfort them only as you can.
My wife and I wish to offer our deep heartfelt condolences.
They did their part. Now we will do our very best to honor you.
Thank you for your service!! God Bless You!!
