Dear Gail, Sue & Mike,
We are praying for peace and strength for you and your children as you deal with the sad days ahead without your dad. May it comfort you to know that your dad has gone on to begin his eternal life in heaven with all his loved ones that have gone on before him. And that through God's grace, we too will someday be reunited.
Love,
Ruthie and family

Dear Aunt Flo,
We pray that God will strengthen you to face the difficult days ahead without your beloved husband. We hope that all the happy memories you made together will help keep your dear John alive in your heart. I'll bet Uncle John and Mack have already played more than a few rounds of golf in Heaven. You are in our hearts and prayers today and always!
Much Love,
Ruthie and family
