Griffin will be missed. I know every time I would call he would always want to know if I was coming up this year. Well I did come this year, but it was not for the same reason, just to visit. Pat

Dear Hazel and family...and also Priscilla, Jean, Audrey and Tom. I knew you all back over 50 years ago when we were all kids in Wentworth, NH. Our paths have not crossed much since, but I do want to express my sincere sympathy. Sorry it is so late...my computer has been down. God bless you all. Jeanie (Stevenson) Davis

Dear Tuttle / Wixson Family,
On Behalf of Evangelical Baptist Church, please accept our sincere condolences for your loss and be assured of our prayers as you mourn the death of a husband, father and grandfather. May you find comfort in the words of Christ from John 14;
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going." 5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" 6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Love and prayers,
Rev. Andrew Matthews
