  4. Gary, Gary L, Steve, Linda, and Greg, I’m So sorry to hear about Carol, and your mom.
    I just saw her last month or so when we were out and about, and I was coming out a door as she was coming in.
    I remember so many of the good times we’ve shared at church activities, women’s retreats, and helping out at church. And the time Becky and I were visiting at your farm so long ago.
    Wishing you peace and comfort. Sending you hugs.

  5. Gary sorry to hear about your Mom I’m not able to make to make it out there, be thinking about you.

  6. I am very sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

  7. I’m so sorry for your loss. The pain and grief of loosing someone we love can seem unbearable. Something that can be comforting is God’s word. As 1 Corinthians 1:3&4 says; …the God of all comfort, who comforts all in our trials…The Bible helps us to understand how God feels about death. Isaiah 25:8 says God will defeat our enemy death, and it will be gone forever. -More comforting truths can be found in a book called “What Does the Bible Really Teach”. I hope you will look into this subject further. I know it will bring you comfort and peace as it did me. Sincerely Nora
