Julie, I was shocked to see this online today. We are currently in Florida and I was looking for an obituary of a fellow church member online.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could be there to give you a hug, but God is holding you close now and forever.
In deepest sympathy,
Linda Petersen and Lee
