So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I know you all will really miss him.
But it won't be forever.
It's been sometime since I've seen your Dad or you but we would like to send our sympathy to you and your family. May

So sorry to hear about the loss of your father, Gary. However, we know he's rejoicing in Heaven. He and my dad thought a lot of each other and have to believe they are enjoying the reunion. You will always miss him as you have your mother. I bet our parents are having a grand time. Heaven is even more sweeter since Dad and Mom are there. Praise God for the hope we have in seeing them again.

Gary,
Sorry to hear about your father. I know that you will miss him because I also lost my father and I miss him even though it has been several years since my father has been gone. Just remember that you will see your father again when the Lord comes for His children. So keep he Faith, Gary.

We loved Vernon very much. He was a good neighbor for many years. He kept watch over all his neighbors and was there to lend a hand or lift your spirits with a story or two. He was there to comfort us when we lost our son last year. We will miss him very much, but we know he is with our Lord Jesus and we will see him again soon!Ron & Darlene Gideon & Erin Martin

Sorry to hear of Uncle Vernon's passing. His brother, Marion, was my grandfather, and Vernon preached at his funeral. I smile when I think of Grandpa and Grandma standing there with Glen Nora, waiting to greet him, just like when they stood up for each other at their weddings some 70 years ago. Well done, all you good and faithful servants!
