SORRY

December 23, 2010

Dear Mary,I am so sorry to hear of Robert's passing. I always loved talking with him and I will miss seeing him puttering in the garage. You did all you could for him and, in time, you'll find comfort in that. I know you have a difficult adjustment ahead. God be with you and your family during this time. Love, Ann Kazaleh

Dear Mrs. Patton, Deanna, Tammy, and family,

Precious memories of Mr. Patton linger in my mind, foremost of those I cherish of our Katherine almost jumping into his arms when we took her to Sunday School each week.
Mr. Patton's sweet love for the LORD and the children he taught are by far the greatest impressions he left on our family.

We are praying for you all. Your loss is great! I pray you will find comfort in in the fact he's 'Dwelling in Beulah Land' with Jesus, and likely still holding babies we've lost here on earth.

Sweet peace to you,
Karen for the Grays

Please know that we are praying for God's grace and comfort for each one of you as you walk this difficult road. We love your family. May the God of all comfort wrap you in His arms at this time. With love, Joey, Jamie, Joseph, Jordan and Jonathan Vaughn
