Very sorry I could not be there today. I wish I could put into words for what today means to Mickey and Terry.
Jean and Harvey lives on in you and your children, I wish you the best in the coming days and years.

Michael, Mickey, Terri and all your families: "Ms. Jean" was always a good friend as we worked together at Dick Mooney Crane Rental; in fact, my speed dial button to this day still says "Mrs. V". She thought the world of all of you and I know you did her as well. My sincere thoughts for you at this time. God bless.

Please accept my sincere condolence and deepest sympathy. May the fond memories you shared bring warmth to your hearts . We may be sadden by the death of a loved one, but because of the God-given resurrection hope (John 5:28,29) we do not sorrow as those do who have no hope. (1 Thess.4:13)
Ps 46:1 God is a refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress.

It has been said that time heal all wounds. This may or may not be so. Our Heavenly Father has promised that he will draw near to the brokenhearted and those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalms 34:18
