Mike, Pam, Pat and Randy ... I was so saddened to hear of the passing of your Mother, my Aunt Nellie. Although it has been quite some time since I have seen any of your family, you always have a special place in my heart. We had some wonderful times on the farm in the summertime as kids. I hope the beautiful memories you have of your Mom will help you through this loss. God's Blessing to each of you. Love - Your Cousin, Michele

My sincere condolences to the family of Nellie S. Witz – It was never the Creator’s purpose for mankind to suffer (Romans 5:12). May God give you peace through his promise to comfort us (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). I hope that you are comforted by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
