I would like to express my sincere condolences to the loss of your loved one.In the scriptures Job 14:14,15 and John 5:28, God promises that he will resurrect our loved ones in the near future .I hope that Jehovah , the God of comfort grant you peace.
Dear Dale and Gary and family, I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Evelyn's passing. My prayers are with you both and your families. Aunt Evelyn was one of my favorite aunts and I remember many times coming to your Dad's and Mom's for good food and good times. Aunt Evelyn was there with Patrick and me when my Dad (Johnny Ray) passed away. I was so blessed that she was there with us all. She was a very wonderful Aunt and person and loved by many nieces,nephews, and cousins.
Love you guys, your cousin Angie Strickland Moser
