We would like to send our sympathy to the entire Filippi family. We have been friends and co-workers for years, shared many laughs and tears.

April 27, 2010

Our Lord God grants us life on this earth for us to live to the fullest, seemingly unknown to us that He may call us home at any time. Our hearts are filled with sorrow, our eyes are filled with tears, a great sadness overcomes our feelings that you will be missed so much by all those who love you. You touched the lives of so many people and made a difference in their lives. We will miss you and may God bless you and your family. Peace be with you all.
