Dear John, Dennis, Gary, and Family:
It is with much sadness and regret to learn of the recent passing of our good friend and fellow pew member, Rovene Langwith. As you know, we all loved Rovene and seeing her in church each Sunday and exchanging teases and laughs. Rovene was a Delightful and positive person who always looked like a million dollars and had a smile upon her face. She had quite a sense of humor and it was always fun being around her. She was very proud of her sons, their wives, and grandchildren. Our thoughts and prayers will be with each of you in the days that lie ahead. One thing we know for certain, Rovene is now in heaven and smiling down upon us all. God bless her and each of you as well.
