Gerald L. Read

Please accept my sincere prayers that go out to the surviving family and friends may the God of comfort continue to bless you and yours especially after such a tragic loss. Please accept my deepest sympathies. 2 Cor. 1:2,3.

In memory of Gerald Eugene Read
A true and faithful man who gave his life saving others and the thing he loved to do on September 16, 2013 in this location. God alone understands.

The Lord said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."--KJV John 15:13

Dear Read and other families,
I am sorry for your loss. He is a hero! God bless him and his family.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences, Jerry always helped me when I called upon him to answer the tough questions. He will be sorely missed. My prayers are with you.

Cathy and family...You have been, and will continue to be, in my thoughts and prayers. I haven't the words to express my sympathies other than to let you know that I think of you often and pray that the God of our fathers holds you in His hand and comforts you.

How can I find the words to tell you how sorry I feel. Life is not supposed to happen this way, where good people like you are dealt such a devastating blow, it is just not fair. You do so much good for others. I am truly at a loss for words, for words alone cannot express the emotions of sorrow and anger that I felt when I heard. My only thought was why does bad things always seem to happen to good people. Both Margaret and I are deeply saddened by your loss.
Joe

With heartfelt condolences to your family in this time of great sorrow. (Romans 4:17)

My dear Cathy and family: Truly, there are no appropriate words to comfort you wholly following the events of these past days. Focus on a life well lived, that "reliable and solid, solid" husband and father, and please know that legions of friends and admirers are standing with you at this difficult time. Prayers and sincerest wishes for continued strength, Faith, and consolation. Fondly, Mark B.

Please accept my Deepest Sympathies

My heart and prayers go out to you and your family, Cathy. I know this has to be so surreal for you. Know that I am thinking of you in this difficult time. Much Love - Mary Ackerman

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
