Dear Sandra and Charles,

I was so sorry to hear that your Dad passed away. My father, who you know loved him like a brother, called to tell me the news. Unfortunately, I was out of town and couldn't attend the service. Your Mom and Dad were always so good to and supportive of me. They were very sweet people and will be missed very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Charlie & Regina, Steve and I are very sorry for your loss. During the time that we spent with Nelson in Roanoke, primarily Thanksgiving meals, he was always a pleasure to be around. It was obvious that he loved you both very much! You were lucky to have had him as a parent/father-in-law.

So sorry to read of Mr. Wimmer's passing. I also lost my father T.J. Pennington back in Jan. who thought so much of your Dad and loved to talk to him when he would come over to the shop. I belive I heard Dad say they were the same age. My prayers and thoughts are with each of you now and in the days to come.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Wimmer's passing. I remember when I was told to go speak with him about my first job at 15 I was scared to death, but he made me feel like I was family, and for that I had a special place in my heart for him. He will truly be missed!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss and my thoughts are with you at this time. I know times seem to be tough right now but Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). I pray that you all find comfort in God’s words and in knowing God’s love is surrounding you, his power is protecting you, and his presence is watching over you. Whenever you lose a love one, it is easy for you to lose faith, but be comforted in knowing that your Heavenly Father understands and knows your heart. No one knows exactly how you feel but I trust that you will allow the Spirit to provide you with warmth, acceptance, and inner peace. You must trust that God is with you always.

I am thinking of you. My thoughts of love and support and my prayers are with you. Know that you have friends who love you. If there is anything that I can do to help, please let me know.

My deepest sympathy,

Nancy Mills, First National Bank
