Dear Jewel and Family: I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Junior. He was such a sweet person. (I have very fond memories of him. I think the most memorable is the "hay ride" when he took the church to the top of your land. What a beautiful view!)May you have comfort knowing Junior is with Jesus now, and will eternally enjoy Heaven's Beautiful Views.
In Sympathy and in Love,
Michele and Family

We were so saddened by the news of Junior's passing. Denver and I have both had grandfathers to pass away and it is rough to say the least. My grandfather has been gone almost 14 years and the hurt from that is just as fresh today as it was then. But as all of you already know, the promise of seeing him again will ease your pain. We love you guys and if you need us, seriously, you know where we live. We would honored to help you in your time of need.

Tessa:
I want to express my heartfelt sympathy and condolences regarding the passing of your grandfather. It must be doubly tough losing him at this time of the year. As someone who was fortunate enough to grow up with both sets of grandparents an integral part of my everyday life, I can certainly empathize with your sense of loss of someone very important to you. From the obituary, it looks like he lived a very full and accomplished life, and was a family man, in the best sense of the term. As such, he has no doubt found his eternal reward. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. May God help you navigate sccessfully through this sad and difficult time. Again, my sincere condolences. God bless.

Nando (Junior never felt right to me) was a good friend and faithful to the end Baptist layman, whose opinion I valued and whose friendship I treasured. We have all lost one of God's truly good men, whether family member and friend. My wife and I express our most sincere sympathy.
