Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My deepest condolences to the family. Remember you are not alone at this difficult time. God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress. (Psalm 461) He cares for you. (Isaiah 4110)
I was sorry to hear about Tim today . I have such good memories of our families at the beach and cookouts as children. Tim and I spoke every so often by phone. We spoke of family and Sue and Dick. Sue loved her children dearly and I let him know that. I will miss our conversations. My condolences to his children and grandchildren. Love to all.
Chad and Casey, We are very sorry about you losing your dad. We had lots of childhood memories playing in Rocky Mount, Wake Forest, and White Level at Grandma and Grandpa’s. Please know that we are thinking of you and will see you on Tuesday. Your dad thought a lot of you.
