This is a day to rejoice, for the Lord has called his servant home. I can here Jesus saying welcome home Dorris my faithful servant in whom I am well pleased. I am thankful today that Dorris and Stanford were my Pastors, and for the impact left on my life, which has lead to God's calling on mine to go into the ministry. Our prayers go out to the Raleigh family, from Ron (Ashley) Josh Routh and Steven (LeeAnn) Swackhamer.

We remember your family with Christian love during this time. May your memories of your mom remain strong.
A professional obligation has kept me from the services, but I will be there with you in spirit.

We send our prayers for comfort and good memories in the loss of your mother. I remember her gentle, loving nature, as well as your grand-parents, from visits in Estherville. I also remember all of you as children filled with joy running around the West Concord farm. We wish God's blessings to each one of you.
