    Jay, Natalie, Jessica, Luke and families: Our deepest sympathy on the passing of your mom and grandma. She was a wonderful woman and we know you will miss her dearly. She's in God's hands now and so be thankful that there is no more pain. Keep her in your hearts and never let the memories slip away. We love you all. Paul and Marlene

    There is one thing I have learned over the years and that is that losing a loved one is never easy. You are never prepared, you never expect it to happend and you never get over that empty place in your life which your love one fulfilled. The only comfort I can offer is the one and only comfort that can heal us and help us to grow through all trials. Trust in our loving God. He has a plan, is there for you and has his arms tightly around your grandmother right now. In Sympathy and With Prayers, Karen Greiner
