My condolences to the Buskirk Family. As your hearts are full of grief and pain, I hope that your family will draw comfort from the promise from God found in John 5:28, 29. Here we are assured of a wonderful promise that soon our loved ones will be resurrected back to life. Please find much comfort in this promise and may God prove to be your true source for strength and hope during this most difficult time.

Betty and family: May I wish my sincerest condolances for Chets death. Seems I just saw him at Sam's Club a few months ago. Did not see the obituary until evening so missed the visitation. So sorry to read of his passing. Prayers for you all from my wife and I.
