Nancy, Billy and family,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of Mr. "D" at CE, and teaching VBS with him. My prayers are with you.

To The Darlings,

I will always remember Mr. Darling (that is what us kids called him)and the fun times we had at CE and camp. I recall the many times he had us look under our chair at CE for a prize. He would also call out books of the Bible to see who would be the first one to find it. He would always make up a name of a book just to fool us. He selflessly gave his time for us 'kids'. Thanks Mr. Darling for all you have done in the name of your Lord. My God now give comfort and peace to your family because we know you are rejoicing in heaven. Remembering you....

Dear Laurel and Family,

Think of you often!

Just saw the notice. Liz, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know how hard it is to lose a father. Your dad was part of many good memories in my high school years. Take care of your mom.

To My Dear, Dear Loving 'Other' Family,
Words cannot express my feelings about how much I feel part of your family. You have always welcomed me to your family gatherings, just as if I was one of you.

Frank & Laurel always have made a special time to sit and chat with me, catching up on what was going on in each of our lives, and to share with me what the Lord was doing in their lives and what writing Frank was being led to complete(which I thoroughly enjoyed)!!

I thank God for Janet (and later on John) & I meeting, way back when we worked at E.L. Friendly's... some 31 years ago! Wow, that in itself is remarkable & our friendship has been a HUGE blessing to each of us.

Just wanted to say that I will continue to pray for peace for all of you... for the peace that Frank knew very well and which I'm sure how he wanted you all to feel; Peace within; Peace amongst you, and the Love, Peace and Hope that you will see each other again.

(I would have been in NY with you all, but instead I am helping with Patrick.)

With Love Always and sending you all a big hug!
