Patrick Branch Memoriam

In Loving Memory of Patrick Balbus (P.B.) BRANCH 10/28/1932 10/5/2008
Pat,
You endured a valiant struggle to see your 76th Birthday here on earth. We were so longing to celebrate with you. The Lord also wished to celebrate your birthday with you. He called you home to make you new again and free you of your battles here on earth. While we sorrow that our day of celebration will not be now, we rejoice in knowing you will be dancing with the Father on your birthday. You are missed here on earth. But we know you have been healed by the greatest healer of all. We will celebrate someday with you on the other side.
Love,
Louise, Debbie, Shawn
William, Jennifer and Cindy
