We are so sorry for your loss. We have valued your friendship and advice over the years and will continue to be here for you, June, in case you need help or ever hear something go “bump” in the night and need someone to check it out. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My condolences for the loss of your loved one, and may you draw comfort from Almighty God through his written word the Holy Bible, 2Timothy 3:16, his provision to mankind, so that that may read in it and know that he cares for us Jeremiah 29:11, and that in the future he’ll wipe out everything that causes pain, suffering and sorrow Isaiah 25:8, Isaiah 33:24, Isaiah 55:11.

June, Our sympathy to you and your family in the loss of Al.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you June and your family. May God be your strength during this trying time. Uncle Al was a great man and will be missed.
