Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My sincere condolences to the Weaver family for your loss. During this time of sorrow, may you find comfort in meditating on Jehovah God promises for our dead loved ones in his word the Bible-2 Cor. 13-5. He will completely do away with death-Isa 258! Can we see our dead loved ones again Jesus answers that question in John 528, 29, where he assures us that there is going to be a resurrection! Yes we can be reunited with our dead loved ones again! May your family be comforted!
I am sorry to hear of Mr. Weaver’s death. I remember his presence and support during the many baseball games that Adam and Stephen played together. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family.
We knew it was baseball if Mr. Weaver was there. Always smiling and so much fun to sit and have a conversation. Truly , an example of one of the wotld’s greatest generation. It was an honor. Bryan and Lynn Moore
