Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

No better memories from high school. the Flora home was like my second home.
spent many nights there when my parents were in the south.
We had a fun trip to fort myers ,before the interstate.
we really looked forward to visiting u both at the many warsaw reunions.
Jane it is comforting to know of your many friends and family to be so close.
our prayers are with you all.

Jane Flora - I am so sorry for your loss. All of my early musical memories were made at your piano, and in recital. Thank you for giving me the foundation in music that has sustained me all my life, as I know that your family and friends will sustain you now.

Mark, I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad. May God help you and your family find comfort during this sad time in your life. Please remember, as your arms are out stretched saying goodbye, other family members are in heaven with their arms outstretched welcoming your dad home.

Gene was one of the reasons we joined Grace United Methodist Church when we lived in South Bend. He was a very caring person.
