Guestbook

  1. Candle 4You where the first to accept me into your family, I’m going to miss seeing you on Sunday afternoon! Love ya Gran

  2. Candle 5Although we only met when our grandchildren married ( Braden & Kaylee ), I know that you were a very special lady because you were instrumental in Braden’s upbringing. We think the world of him and we know that he will miss you dearly. Praying that God wraps Gramps and all the family in the comfort of His arms and eases their sorrow.

  3. I am so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. I know the heart ache you all feel and tho it’s bad, the Bible says we are to rejoice at death for it is then, that our loved one is with the savior. The ultimate goal we are all striving for. I will be praying for all of you in the many months ahead that you’ll still grieve. If I can do anything please let me know . And know that I love you all.
