Dear Linda, It was with great sadness when we heard about the passing of Duane. Just wanted to say, Duane was always kind and friendly to both Jaloy and I, a character trait we will always remember. Praying for you Linda during this difficult time. Be assured Jesus is with you and holds you in the palm of his hand. May he shower you with His peace and comfort. You are in our prayers. In Christ's Love, Jaloy and Candyce Lueders Gustafson
