Guestbook

  1. I know the pain that death can bring to the heart. It is very hard to give up our loved ones to death. It is at a time of grief that we can lean on our God & our Savor, throu the words we are givin in the Bible. Jehovah tells us that he will wipe out every tear, & death will be no more. (Rev. 213,4) Jesus said I am the vine & my Father is the culvator. (John 151) What a great gift we have been givin, to have the hope of seening our loved ones again.

  2. Thinking of all of you from so far away. Wish I could be there to celebrate Aunt Mop’s life with you. She was a kind and loving wife, mother, family member and friend. Know that I’m thinking about all of you and you are in my prayers. In His care, Kim – Greg, Emily, Grace and Carly
