Denny & Faith,

It´s been years since we´ve connected, but reading your Mom´s death notice brought back many good memories.

We cherish the years we were formulating our faith as we worshiped (& played) together as young adults.

Even though many years have passed it often feels like yesterday!

As you put your Mother to rest, it is so wonderful to know with out a doubt that heaven is her HOME. The comfort that is ours who belong to Christ is unparalleled as we daily face a world that is filled with unrest. Truly the BEST is yet to come!

Gods blessings to you & yours,
Sharon & Dave Wiersum
