Dear Joan, Angel, Robin and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Jim. Wish I could be there to express my sympathy in person, but I have an obligation at my church on Thursday. You are in my prayers. I have fond memories of our camping trips to Edenton. The canoe rides, chicken on the grill, archery, and Mom getting seasick on the raft are forever etched in my mind. Sure would love to see you guys. I've shared the story of Angel and me walking home with the Renault between us many times over the years. Hope to see you soon!
Love and friendship always,
Debbie Panak

Our family send our sincere condolences to you Joan and your family. We pray that God will sustain all of you during this very difficult time. As the Bible states in Psalms 55:22..... Cast thy burden upon the Lord and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. It is hoped the family will reflect upon all of the fond memories shared as a family. We will continually PRAY for your family.
