Rhonda, sorry for your loss.
So sorry for the loss of your dad and grandpa. You all were a special family. Prayers for peace and comfort for all of you.
I learned at a younger age that I didn't always want to stay for supper. The reason is because I never knew what hunting season it was! If I didn't recognize it on the table, I would head on home...lol My condolences to all his children and grandchildren.
Hello friends. So sorry to hear about our great friend, Fred. Fred and Shirley were good friends, for years. You all have my sincere sympathy. With love and prayers, Dave Lewis.
Prayers to the family. 🙏
