Over the years we always enjoyed our visits with Jeanette and Bill. She was a lovely person who’s love for Vince Gill made me smile. She will be missed by all who knew her and loved her. Peggy (Sheahan) & Tim Reed
I’m sorry for the death of your loved one. Death is a very difficult experience. However, Psalm 3418 assures us God is close to the broken-hearted; He saves those crushed in spirit. In the coming days and weeks, may the God of all comfort strengthen you.
I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Jeanette Stancil Dove. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer
