Hello I’m sorry to hear about your loss. A scripture in the Bible that has always given me comfort is found at Revelation chapter 21 versus three and four. I hope this scripture can help you find comfort during this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" ( 3) Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, (4 ) who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we get from God.

Debbie and Greg. I have so many memories of both your Dad and your Mom. From when I was little to when I was older with children of my own. It was always a major event our trips to Arkansas. So much fun. And going to "Eva and Olen's" house to visit or to eat. So much laughter. I will always remember your Dad's hugs each and every time he saw me. He always had the biggest grin on his face that I will never forget. God Bless him. Love you, Donna
