Al, Leesa, Daeten and family,

Words are never enough. However the love of Jesus is more than enough. Like you, we count it a joy that Roni is with our Savior, he promised to prepare a place and we know that He is faithful. We are grateful that you won't sorrow like those without hope.

We will be available to assist you in whatever way possible.

Your neighbors and brothers/sisters in Chirist,
Ambrose and Cynthia Elmoore
