Alan, Jr. and Laura, we are so sorry about your grandmother's passing - I know she loved you dearly. She was a wonderful Christian lady and a faithful long time member of Pine Grove and we will surely miss her greatly. I pray you find comfort in the good memories and knowing that she is now with Jesus and your grandpa.

Love, Wayne & Aggie
