It breaks my heart that I wasn't able to come to see Uncle Richard before he passed and also not being able to come to the services for him. My prayers and thoughts are with Aunt Joyce, Uncle Charles, Uncle Gene and Aunt Eula Pearl. I know Uncle Richard is happy in his new heavenly home with our Heavenly Father and all the family members that have passed before him. We too have the option to join all our family members in Heaven. We just need to ask for forgiveness for our sins and invite Jesus into our heart. May God comfort all the family in our sad time. Love & miss you all.

Dear Family and Friends,

I'm sorry for your loss. I just wanted to leave you with an encouraging scripture that has helped me deal with the loss of a loved one. It is found in the Bible Book of Palm 34:18 here God assures us that He is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit.
