Marty, Brian, and Nicole,
I am so sorry to hear this news. I have fond memories of chats I had with your dad at your QND games, in the hallways, or at your other school activities. He loved his family more than anything. I pray that God will give you the strength you need in the days ahead and that HE will fill your hearts with only the great memories you created, and shared with, your father. God Bless.
I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of our brother Dan. He truly loved his Lord and savior Jesus Christ. He was a devoted member of our Tuesday night men’s prayer group and will be truly missed by all. It is comforting to know that he was welcomed by his Lord Jesus with open arms. God bless him and his family.
You will be missed. So happy I was able to know you.
