I am so sorry for the lost of your dear loved one. It's comforting to know that God cares for all of us and losing a loved one is something we cannot get use to. The Bible gives us hope that one day we can see our dear loved one again. On behalf of all mankind Jesus surrender his soul for many. John 15:13 says “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul on behalf of his friends.” Truly I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope.

Rex, Megen, Dayton and Hash - my most heartfelt sympathies to you on the loss of your beloved wife and dear mother. Sharon, only a month younger than me, and I grew up, not as cousins, but more as brother and sister. She was very dear and close to me even through the years we shared at Bluefield College. What a wondderful person! Kind, caring and supportive through the many challenges faced while growing up. She will be deeply missed. her "kissin' cousin" [as we affectionately called each other], wilson

Dear Rex and all your family. Please know that you are in our prayers. Sharon was such a wonderful person. I first met her at school where she was my 8th grade science teacher. The last time I saw her was at the picnic when Rex gave Jim and I a tour of the barn. She commented how proud she was of Laura and Larry and their family. I know that you will miss her.
