Dear Mark, Janet, Lynn, Craig, John, and family:

Please accept our sympathy during this difficult time. Sad, yet it´s a Happy Easter for your Mom! There are people who touch our lives as we traverse this life on earth. Your Mom was one of those very special individuals. We were always encouraged and emboldened in our faith by her unwavering commitment to spreading the Gospel of Jesus. The act of your Mom and Dad walking door to door, sharing Christ, in the neighborhood left an indelible impression on us. For that we are grateful. She was a gem and we were so blessed to have known her.

Your brother and sister in Christ,
Rob and Debra Borcherding
