Dear Linda,

I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was blessed to have such a loving, devoted daughter to care for him. May God bless you and your family in these difficult days ahead. I pray that He will help to ease your pain with the many happy memories of the special times you spent together.

"NO TEARS PAST THE GATE"

Someone new has entered the eternal home above --

The heavenly gate has opened wide to welcome the one you love.

We cannot help the tears that fall -our hearts need time to grieve,

when earthly life has ended and a loved one had to leave.

Yet even in the saddest time, we know our Savior lives,

and we can trust completely in the promise that He gives --

that in a glad reunion with the Lord our loved ones wait

to welcome us in joy with no more tears past the gate.

My deepest sympathy for the Mank Family during this difficult time. I hope you can all heal by reflecting the wonderful memories shared.

Dear Sis: Deepest sympathy to you and your family. It is a great loss when you loose a parent and I know Pa and you were tight. Just to know that Your Pa and Your Mom are together is some consolation.

Linda,
I know that losing a parent is very difficult and there are no words to ease that pain. Hold on to all the wonderful memories and remember he will always be in your heart. He's got good company up there. Our deepest sympathies.

Dear Linda and Greg,
No words can express the pain and sorrow you must feel at the loss of your father; the kind and gentle man that I knew as an uncle. A parable states: When you are born you cry and the world rejoices. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. Your father did just that. I know he is rejoicing in the love of our Lord and the waiting arms of your mother.
Our love to you and Greg and all your family.

Linda, Greg and Family..My deepest sympathy goes out to you all. I know how hard it is to lose a parent and there are no words that seem adequate to convey the feelings. I hope you find comfort in knowing that he is now with your mom and all the other family who have gone on before him. I take comfort in the wonderful memories that were made over the years. He will be missed without a doubt but he will always remain in our hearts. love Annie
