Van Memoriam

MEMORIAM Happy 60th Birthday "Van" 12/1/2011 Little did we know that evening God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us wonderful memories; your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. We miss you now, our hearts are sore, as time goes by we miss you more! Your loving smile, your gentle face, no one can fill your vacant place! We love and miss you with all our hearts! All Our Love, Mom & Dad

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
