Dear Uncle Jim, Jay and family,
We had no idea what you were going through until Becky saw the obituaries last night. I have only fond memories of Libby, and I know you will miss her. You two made a good pair, and gave an example to those around you, for them to follow. Please know that you all will be in our prayers and thoughts in the coming weeks and months, and take care.
Love and prayers,
Terri (Mollman) Blackwell, John, Daniel & Katie

Dear family,
We are members of ESUMC and just wanted to share our love and prayers with each of you. Sometimes the most tender prayers are from those of our children. Our older children (and we) have been remembering your family daily. May it bring added comfort to know that many, many others are surrounding your family with prayers. To God be the glory for His eternal love, compassion, strength, mercy and His promise for our eternity together with Christ. We give thanks for the tremendous life and ministries of Mrs. Garland! What a heritage she gave our church family!
With our deepest sympathy,
The Glenn Gunter Family
