To our good friends,
We have such great memories with your loving family. We will miss your father. "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40: 31. With love, The Gabel's

Dear Roseanne and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. We are losing the greatest generation who fought for the lives we have now. My father, too, was a WWII veteran. I am sure that you are all experiencing that feeling of very sad relief. My sympathies to you.
