My prayers go out to Dewey's family. I worked with him for 28 years. He was my best friend in the shop. This is still very hard for me as I shook is hand the day of my retirement. He will always be remembered as my friend who always had a helping hand when I needed it.

What can I say to you that will be of comfort to you during this difficult time? Please find comfort in knowing that the Lord knows exactly what you are going through. He will never leave you or forsake you, and He will meet your every need. May He give you strength to face the future, and a peace that passes all understanding. I'm praying for you.

I met Dewey and Jeanie 10 years ago when she first opened up her office in Oshkosh, WI. I did extensive cleaning and maintenance work for them, both in their home and in the office. They were always kind and generous to me. The events of the last 10 +/- years came as a great shock to me. But it is a comfort to know that no matter what they did, if they were members of the body of Christ, I will see both of them again at the snatching away (rapture). If they were not, I know that eventually they will be enjoying everlasting life with The Father. Sin, sickness, death and mortality will all be a thing of the past because of the atoning work of Jesus Christ!
