Dear Barbara, Glenda, Ralph, Shirley, Judy, Donna, David and families

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to each of you and your families on Jack's passing. I would like to pass on to you for encouragement a verse that comforted me a great deal when Murray when to be with the Lord "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" Psalm 46:1

I am praying for you.

Love Elsie

Dear Barbara & family,

May our Lord Jesus comfort you in this time of sorrow. Thinking of you.

"Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;
and every one who lives and believes on me shall never die. Believest thou this?" John 11: 25,26

With love,
