Ken, Kim, and Kathy, I am sorry for your loss. I have many found memories of your Mom and Dad. The many hog roasts, parties, and even playing with the tinker toys in your living room when I was little. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Wendy Knoles Edie

To the family of Karen Brittin. I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort with Psalms chapter 46 verse 1 that reads, “God is for us a refuge and strength, A help that is readily to be found during distresses.”
