Denise, I am so sorry for your loss. Life hands us many challenges, as you have experienced. The Lord cares and weeps with you. Know He is just a thought away. Prayer really helps. He really hears! Ask Him to carry you through this. Jesus is tender and loving and more understanding than we can imagine. He is with you. I pray you will feel His loving arms around you, supporting you and guiding you. Love, Pat Johnson

Denise,

I knew you as a little girl/teenager as I worked with your lovely mother, Donna, for years at I&M. I am so sorry you have lost your father; this is a difficult time of the year to lose someone you love. May God grant you peace during this time.

Please accept my sympathy for your loss. Although I have known Bob for over fifty years it has been years since I've seen him. I'll always remember his
happy carefree personality.
