Not sure what to say?

Our thoughts are with the whole family.

Love,
Bridget Mara (White), Pam's Daughter

I am so sorry for your loss. Remembering you in my prayers.

Ida & Family, You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Buddy will be missed. He is a great
friend.May he rest in peace with our God and our savior Jesus Christ.
May our Father heaven be upon the
Handley family for peace and comfort.

People dis-appear, but they never really go away.
When somebody dies, the clouds open and the sprit turns into an angel and flies up to tell God who adds another flower to a garden.
The spirits put the sun to bed, wake up grass with dew, and blow wind into an open window. They paint the rain-bows and make the sunsets.
They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. When they sing wind-songs, they whisper to us, don't miss me too much. The view is nice and I'm doing just fine.

Psalm 116.15 gives us the comfort of knowing that the release of our loved ones from the pain of this life is a blessing from God. May the God of all comfort give you His peace now and in the days to come. As we look forward to the promise of being reunited with our loved ones in a better place where sickness, pain, and death are all a thing of the past. Thinking of you all and remembering you in our prayers.

Wish I could make it, Buddy will be missed greatly. We had a lot of great times when we were kids.

Aunt Vernie, we send our love to you and the girls. We wish we could be there to give our love in person.
