Carol, Lisa and Allison

I will always have the memory of Bill sitting toward the back on the right side of the isle at Carl Baptist Church. He was always there, Mary too, but she was in the choir. They were solid figures, in my childhood and beyond. He was a good man and I know he will be missed by many. I'm sorry that we are out of town and will not be able to attend the funeral. You all are in our prayers that the God of all peace will comfort your hearts in Christ Jesus.

Dear Lisa:

I am so sorry for your loss. I have been praying for your Dad and for you and
your family and will continue to do so during this difficult time. It is so
comforting to know your Dad knew the Lord and that he is with Him and his
sweet wife now. And to know you will see your Dad and Mom again is so
wonderful. Praying for peace and comfort for you and your family.
Blessings, Jeanette
