We sincerely express our condolences to Beverly and Debbie. One of our many memories of June was a Christmas when we were stranded in Des Moines because of the weather and June came over and picked us up so we could have Christmas dinner with them and wouldn't be all by ourselves. We will miss him!

I understand and my prayers are with you all.

The bodies we now have are weak and can die. But they will be changed into bodies that are eternal. Then the Scriptures will come true,
Death has lost the battle!
Where is its victory?
Where is its sting?"

1 Cor 15:54-55, (CEV)
