Lois, our deepest sympathy to you and your family in your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. My family, for three generations, has been fortunate to be part of a wonderful community of friends in Maine, of which you and Noice were such an important part. I know how much your kind friendship meant to my parents, and to me, too.

I would expect that Noice already has a new project planned.

Lois and all the Family,
The loss of a loved one is never easy. We were saddened at the loss of Noice this week. In Mathew 5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted." And now we know that he is in the arms of Jesus. Our heart is with you. Donna, Kellie, Katlyn, and Patrick and I send our Love.

To the Eastman Family,
So very sorry to hear of Mr. Eastmans passing. Many fond memories pass through my mind when I think of him. He and his wife were there for our familys comfort when my Dad was having surgery. Unfortunately he did not come through but they were still there for support. I will always be grateful for that! We lose, but no matter how it turns out for him he wins either through life or death. Words of wisdom from my own Dad! As we know he is in the arms of our Savior. May you all find peace and tranquility in the days ahead. I just lost my Husband last September and still have a hard time. The Lord will see us through. God Bless
