There’s such great comfort in the assurance that we are not alone in this hour of bereavement. And the assurance is made known by the many warm and sincere expressions of are and concern. Your personal visits, telephone calls, food, the beautiful flowers and the presence at this service, but most especially your fervent prayers whispered on our behalf. Each of these deeds have made real that promise of our Savior, “Blessed are they that mour… for they shall be comforted.” May God richly bless each of you.
