Gratton Vest Memoriam

In Loving Memory of Gratton W. VEST 11/4/1930 10/3/2007
Although we feel alone without you, and on the days we are so blue, we know your love for us remains true.
Searching for the words to share on the first anniversary date without you we share parts of Psalms 30 as we know the Lord heard your cries.

"I will exalt you, O Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths...I called to you for help and you healed me...You brought me up from the grave...weeping may remain for a night but rejoicing comes in the morning...Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me; O Lord, be my help. You turned my wailing into dancing...and clothed me with joy that my heart may sing..."
We miss you always Pops!
Love,
Marie Ann, Becky & Lindsay Debbie & Henry, Janet &Jesse
