He loved yhou all very much.

Dear Mrs. Tanner, Alan, Nancy and Dan,
All I can say is that Mr. Tanner was a great man, a true example of what a Christian man should be, like everyone else that knew him, I will miss him very much, and I know you will too. You all have a lastly legacy of your husband and father, not very many families have that sort of comfort when they lose a loved one. He loved you all very much, and I will miss him dearly. I am praying for God's peace, comfort and strength for all of you during this time of remembrance and grief, if there is anything you all need, I am only a phone call away.
All my love,
Bill Sullivan

We are so sad to have lost Mr. Tanner, but what an encouragement to know that we will see him again oneday in heaven. The Lord gives and He takes away! We know that he is in total peace with God and that there are many crowns being presented to him for all his doings for the kingdom of God while he was here on this earth. We will miss him greatly!

Mr Tanner will be missed so much. I always loved going to church and seeing his smiling face their to greet me every time. He was a living example of what a true christian is to be. God is blessed to have him in Heaven now standing at those pearly gates greeting everybody that enters now.
