Please accept my deepest sympathy. Jesus called Death, SLEEP. Why? Because, The Bible promises the resurrection for our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. John 5:28 “Do not be amazed this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out” How thankful we can be for the sure hope of seeing our dear loved ones again. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

Rich & Suzanne,
It is with sadness I send my love and prayers learning of Dorothy's passing. May God give you an abundance of strength during this sad time. Your Wife/Mother was a very good person on this earth, so it is comforting to know she is rewarded with eternal happiness, May you find happiness in remembering all the good she has done and all the love she has had for you and for others. I know I have special memories of her when I was growing up. Staying overnight at your home was always a treat. I think of her often when I bake banana nut bread and I use her recipe. You can be assured I will say a prayer everytime I use her recipe from now on. God bless you, May your sorrows be softened knowing she is now in God's care. Love, Sally

Sally...such a wonderful, heartfelt message. Thank you for your memories of my Mother and the overnights we shared as kids. There is great comfort in knowing Mom is healed at last and with her Lord and Savior. I love the idea that you say a little prayer each time you make her banana bread...it is the best! God bless you for thinking of our family.

Cees and Pat...thank you for your kind thoughts of Mom. Being neighbors all our growing up years, we surely came to know and love each others mothers...and it was extra special that they shared the same birthday. Thank you so much for coming to the funeral...turning around and seeing you was such a joyful surprise on such a sad day. God bless you for honoring Mom and all our family.
