Lori and Family,
I have no words to express how sorry I am for your loss. To lose a husband, father, and friend so young is one of the hardest trials of life and only His love and your faith will get you through. Stay strong and stick together and He will continue to guide you.

Lots of love and Prayers to you from us.

Dear Yvonne, Rusty, Loraine, Daniel, Perry and Andrew, I am shocked and saddened to learn of Martin's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a sibling is difficult to accept I have found - it doesn't feel natural somehow. I am praying for all of you. Unfortunately, I am scheduled to work both Monday & Tuesday evening, but know my thoughts are with you. Sincerely, Susan Mascharka Teale
