To The Radford Family I am truly sorry for the loss of your dear love one. I know you will miss her very, very much, but think of the wonderful times that you shared with her. Also, keep in mind God’s wonderful promise found in the Bible at John 528&29. Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs wil hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life. You have my sincere condolence.
Pat, we are sorry for you loss. I know you & your family will have alot of wonderful memories. Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this time. Bill & LInda Hoyle
