Ant, although I didn't know the rest of your family you were always special to me. I pray that God surrounds all of you in His Grace and Wisdom. That he holds each of you in His loving arms so that you may feel His Strength and Encouragement. No matter what this world or life may put in front of us, there will always be a freedom and joy in the knowledge that He is in complete control of each of our lives and His plan will forever be far superior to anything we could ever dream up. God Bless you and your family in this time and always! You will all be in my prayers.
Please let me know if I can help you in any way.

Russell,
We are thinking about you and the family in you time of griff. Bobby and Lynda kept us informed as to how Jean was doing. We know she had a hard time. Please take comfort in knowing she is at peace and home with God where she is safe and well. In time the emptiness you feel now will be replaced with all the memories and love that was shared with her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God Bless and Keep You Safe as you travel through the next steps of this ordeal.
