Dearest Lorri, Nikki, and Jessie,  Please know our hearts are with you at this time of great  loss.  I sure will miss seeing him going out for his paper and his morning trips to the store.  What a beautiful example you have been as you have taken such good care of your Dad.  ITimothy 5:4 says what you have done for your Dad pleases God, and you have done that much longer than most people even try.  May the love of our Lord, your family and many friends, give you strength, comfort and peace in the weeks and months ahead.  Love and prayers lifted for you daily, Your neighbors and friends, Kenny and Cheryl Reimold   If you need us we're right here.

We were deeply saddened to hear of your Dad's passing.  May it comfort you at least a little to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.

During this time of great sorrow, may it comfort you to know that others are deeply touched by your loss. I too know the pain of losing someone dear. Even though our hearts are broken, rest assure that our Grand Creator cares about you personally (1 Peter 5:7) and can help you through this difficult time. Revelation 21:4 says "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Soon God will do away with death forever, there will be no more sorrow, heartache, or pain. I hope this brings you a measure of comfort during this painful time.
