Ginny and Miriam, I am so sorry, but praise God you such great parents and the time you did with them. I remember how sweet Uncle Bill and Aunt Janice were and the great times we had growing up as family. How much of an honor it was to have you ALL as family. Holy Father, I pray blessings and favor upon Ginny and Miriam's families. May you fill them with calm and peace during this time. In Christ's precious name I pray. AMEN!

To The Burden Girls
It is with fond memories of your mother and dad we think of all the years gone buy. Thinking of him as SS teacher at Calvary Bible Church , and many years early on of fellowship. It is comforting to know we will see them in Gods timing
