Tim:

With each memory we meet again
With those we love..
For the heart never forgets,
Someone so special ----
Can never be forgotten
May love become your shelter, may you find comfort in the memories that are yours to cherish always,
Strength in the companionship of those who share your loss,
And the beauty of precious memories
Be your comfort----
You are held in gentle thought and prayer.

Terry and Family,
It is with such sadness to hear fo Kathy's illness and then her passing. We expect she will be painting the Heavens in the same magnificent manner that she captured wildlife and sountry scenes on earth.

Being neighbors for so many years and watching all the young ones develop and grow has been a cherished privilege for us.
Lloyd and Kathy, Vince, and Jake, go before us and prepare the way.

We share your heart's sadness and loss.

May God hold each of you in the Palm of His Hand.
