Orville, Mark, Clark, Shelly, and family - "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."
(2 Cor 1:3-4) May God touch you in the depths of your loss of Becky and pain of her absence in your lives. May the celebration of her life and the memories you have made together live on in your hearts. "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." (Psalm 16:11) May Becky be experiencing joy in God's presence and His eternal pleasures. My deepest condolences and prayers are with you. Love, Lori
