We are sorry for your loss: While it’s true that death brings sorrow and tears, we can gain comfort and strength from the assurance of Jesus who said “…I am the resurrection and the life. The one, who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life. (John 11:25) May your memories bring you comfort
So sorry to learn of Mr. Washburn's passing.
I hope you all are doing ok. Plan to see you
at First Baptist today.
Jeff
My thought and prayer are with your family and you at this time.
Juanita and family, So sad for your loss. Offering our prayers and condolences. Patsy, Martha, Dumpy
Mrs. Juanita, Timmy, Joni, and Mikel,
What a loss for this earth! Some of my fondest memories of childhood are with our families playing cards. Mr. Mickey was always happy and laughing (cheating and turning red). I am so sorry for your loss. While we know he is in heaven, it doesn't make missing him any easier. He was such a good, sweet, caring, and loving family man and my life was richer just from knowing him. My prayers are with you all.
Love,
Denise
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sorry for your loss. He was a great man and I will always remember how pleasant he was.
Juanita and children.....I am so sad that my friend Mickey is no longer with us. I knew he had been sick as I have been keeping up with you all. I pray that God will be with you Juanita, and help you adjust to being without him. I know it will be very difficult since I have been there myself. He was a sweet and caring man and one I admired very much, as did Buddy. Love, Liz
Joni and family sorry to hear about your father. Prayers are being sent on your behalf.
