Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish,
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;

Mr. Larry, Lisa, Donna, and Allison,
My heart is heavy and I wish I could say something magical to help you all but I have no words of comfort to offer you, other than trust in God as he will not give you more than you can handle. Doesn't seem like it right now but it is true. Mrs. Vivian was a bright shining light with words of encouragement and quite unspoken love for all. She was a source of inspiration when we worked together at the bank and when I lost Shane. I know you will miss her, as we all will. May God continue to heal your hearts and know that you have a community that loves you all and will do anything we can to help. Our prayers are with you and we are asking God to fill you with the Peace that Passes all Understanding!!
Love,
Dee Dee, Carlan, Brittany, Brandon, and Lauren
