Jon, How saddened I was to read of your mother's passing. She was a favorite customer of mine at West Bank. We enjoyed some golf together and an occasional lunch but mostly just pleasant conversations about you and your family as we went about doing our business over the phone. She was very proud of your professional accomplishments and your children. Blessings to you and yours and may your fond memories ease the pain of your loss.

Prayers of peace and healing to you, Jon, and your sweet children. Your mother was a special person who touched a lot of lives is such a wonderful way! She will always be remembered for her contagious smile and laugh. I was so sad to hear of her passing but also know that she is no longer in pain and will watch over her loved ones here on earth. I imagine her laughing and hugging her parents and brother right now! God bless.

My condolences to your family. May you gain comfort and strength by knowing that God cares and has already made provision to restore those loved one in his memories.(John 5:28) This wonderful hope of a resurrection will come under God kingdom that we pray for at Matthew 6:10. As we await this promise may we draw close to God and he will draw close to us. (James 4:8)May God be with your family.
