Beth I wish there was some words that I could say, or something I could do to take away the pain. But there isn't, but I will continue to pray for you all. Take comfort in knowing that your dad/husband is still watching over you from above.

Bill and Family:
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I know what its like to lose a dad but imagine what its like for heavens gain. Bill, I know you probably don't know who is writing this, but me and my husband met you while my nephew was in Brenner's Hospital a few weeks ago. You told us about your dad then. I will never forget the words that you spoke on behalf of my nephew that night; your dad would have been proud of you. God has blessed us all in so many, many ways and he will continue to bless you and your family through these tough times. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Christian friends,

Just know that you are all very close in my every thought and prayer. Remember when you think of your father/husband and everything that made him the man he was, his memory will live on forever. Love you

Rembert (and Jimmie) really touched my heart and others during the YMCA Bible Study. I am the "teacher" and I learned from Rembert with his words of wisdom comments. He is truly missed by our class. GOD BLESS YOU! We love you!

Rembert was a very special person and will be missed. He always had a smile when you saw him. You all are in my prayers and thoughts. God is walking with you during this time. I pray that God continues to hold all of you in his arms now and in the days ahead. Please let me know if you need anything.

Bill and Family:

While I may not have known your father personally, I can can definitely understand the pain one feels when it comes to the loss of either a dad or a stepdad (mine was like another dad to me). Take comfort in knowing that he is resting in the Lord, and it's not "Goodbye," but "We'll see you after while!" Remember the words that Paul writes in 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18, and comfort one another with them. May God bless, comfort, and strengthen you all both during this difficult time and always!
