Dear Aunt Shirley & family - I am so, so, sorry to hear of the loss of my Uncle Phil. I heard the news while I was away on my honeymoon in the Great Smokey Mountains....all I can say is that I never saw more beautiful sunsets and sunrises and this, I am sure, Uncle Phil was a part of as well as my Dad and my brother. I LOVE YOU ALL and will always treasure the memories we shared! God Bless! Julie Winkler-Fischer

Sharon and Bert -
We were so sorry to hear about your father / father-in-law. Although we end up taking care of parents more than they take care of us as we get older, there's always a sense of abandonment when they pass away that we're never quite prepared for. We pray that God will guide and comfort you during this difficult time, and give you the strength you need to carry on in the upcoming days. With sincere sympathies, Doug Scroggs & Jan Velting
