My sincere condolences for the lost of your dear family member, David Snipes. At a time of sorrow we may ask as did Job at 14:14-15, "If an abled bodied man dies, can he live again? He answered: "You will call, and I myself shall answer. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning." C. Raymond (GA

My family and I would like to express our condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. The loss of a loved one can leave one feeling crushed in spirit. Isaiah 57:15 states: "For this is what the High and Lofty One, who is residing forever and whose name is holy, has said: "In the height and in the holy place is where I reside, also with the one crushed and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly ones and to revive the heart of the ones being crushed."" May these words provide a measure of comfort to you all as you endure trough the grieving process.

Travis, Amanda, and Josh I am so sorry for the loss of your Father. He was a great man.
David has been my next door neighbor for 12 years and became like a brother to me. He truly will be missed especially his vicarious ways, or should I say "he did things his way". I am just next door if you need anything. God Bless you and I will keep you in my prayers.
