Doreen and family,
Julie and I were so sorry to hear of your loss. I have many fond memories of "the old" days snowmobiling and card club get togethers spent with our families.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

I am sorry for your loss. God is near to those broken at heart and those crushed in spirit he saves (Psalms 34:18) May you find comfrt in knowing that God has provided an opportunity for you to see your loved one again by means of the resurrection (John 5:28,29 and 1 THessalonians 4:13,14) We can trust this promise because it is impossible for God to lie (Titus 1:2)
