Margaret, Pam, Len and your families – So sorry to hear of your Dad’s / Pop’s passing. We will always remember him for his smile and love for his wife and family. He was a gentleman. Thoughs and prayers are with you all, as you journey through this sad and difficult time. Ray & Sharon Curry
I’m so sorry for your loss Tamara and Taiden. I know he meant the world to you. Much love my friend.
Peggy, May you and your family find solace from the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation. God promised that in the Paradise life will be a delight –more than we can imagine– because violence, accidents, sickness, and death will be no more. (Revelation 21:3-5; Psalm 37:29) Until then, trust that in due season, Jehovah God heals the brokenhearted ones, and he binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)
To the entire Wood family,
Myself and my family wish you to know that we are thinking of you at this most difficult time.
Sincerest regards,
Jill Hammond
