Garrett Lee Bender

Gary, Daena and Chris, I am so sorry for your loss. I have prayed for you, and will continue to do so.
Gina Davis

Your son was a man of strength and courage and fought the good fight of faith. A true warrior of God and was a gift of God to you. My heart is moved by compassion for your broken hearts, but one thing for sure Our wonderful Father has not forgotten your family. Be encouraged in the Lord that loves and comforts us in hard times when we have to let our loved ones go to be promoted into the loving arms of the one that created them. Psalms 56:8 says: He puts our tears into his bottle. He is always surrounding you with his amazing love. God bless you and your entire family. Connie Reiser Russell
