Greetings and prayers to the Hines family...God is the giver and taker of life. It is always difficult when we loose a loved one. These are the times that we hold on to God's promises. He tells us in his word that he is a comforter to the comfortless. Please find peace and strength as you continue to bereave your beloved husband, companion, father, grandfather, and friend. Be continually blessed.

To the Hines Family, which is also our family. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We greet you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We thank him for you and we thank him for the years that he allowed us to have Roy(Pete) in our lives. Now, when the sad days come; and they surely will come, and when the tears of sorrow begin to flow; and they too will surely flow, reflect back on the most beautiful moments that were spent with Roy, and those days of sadness will turn into days of joy and those tears of sorrow will turn into tears of laughter and happiness. May the good Lord continue to bless you and keep you in his loving care. Continue to look to the Lord in that you do, say and think.
