Barb, So sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. Normally I never hear news for months after the fact but we were at my Sisters this weekend. We lost our Dad in “13†and a day doesn’t pass without thinking of him. I hope you can have peace and wonderful memories. Russ

Mrs. Phyllis,
I know what you are going through. No amount of words can ever fill the empty space that is left by the loss of someone who has been by your side most of your adult life. I have no words to say, I do know that he is with the Father and he no longer has any worries or care in the world. It is us that are left behind that suffer from their absence. It is my prayer that God covers you with His blanket of love, and comfort. I pray that He wraps his arms around you and eases your pain. I love you Mrs. Phyllis!

Phyllis and family,
We are so sorry for this great loss. We loved Don very much. Wayne and I got to visit him at the Barber shop a little over a week ago. We told him then that we loved him and were praying for the whole Knight family. We take comfort in knowing that He is with His Savior, Jesus.

I’ll miss Don, his smile and calm, gentle personality. We sat next to each other in our Sunday School class at church. Always looked forward to our greetings and Don’s smile. We would tease each other about our pains in the aging process. When he would ask how I was doing and I would respond with pretty good, he would say, now be careful with that word “prettyâ€. I will always be thankful I had the pleasure of knowing Don as a friend and a member of the church family. Rest In Peace, my brother.
