So sorry for your loss! emit was a good person. god bless you all.
So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the
words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 "(3) With that I heard
a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God
is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they
will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
(4 ) 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.”
Greg,
I'm so sorry about your dad. He was such a good man! I guess now he and my mom can visit again!
Trish and Greg,
So sorry for your loss. May God comfort you as only he can.
Anytime one of the longtime Keiser people passes from this life it brings back a flood of memories. Your parents were a good couple and you were blessed to have them as long as you did.
Prayers for each of you.
Gregg, I am so sorry to hear about your dad passing away. May The LORD give you and your family peace, comfort & strength to get through this difficult time.
Trish and Max, So sorry for the loss of your father. He was such a kind man whom I enjoyed speaking with. He will be dearly missed. May he rest in eternal peace. I love you both. Christina
Greg, Trish, Laure and Max,
My prayers are with you'll at this difficult time for the loss of your Dad.
I hope you'll know how dear he was to me, we had many good chats, and I will miss the letters and pictures that I would get from him, but just know he is now at rest in our God's arms and with Dorothy and Omea Nell, whom was so dear to him.
Love you'll so much!
