Dear Andy & Family,
I did not personally know your dad, but I know that he had love in his heart. I remember at the services for your moher, how he signed his expressions of love & encouragement to me and my wife.
It was also evident that your family is closely knit and there is a bond of love that is so important and often missing in this world today. Keep that legacy of love going.
It is our prayer that God would keep you and strengthen you in this time of bereavement.
Psalms 27:14 - Wait on the Lord; be of good courage and He shall stregthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord.
You are in our thoughts and prayers - Geary & Melonie Rogers
