Dear Ones ...
Our hearts and prayers have been with you ever since we heard of your sad news, and especially today our prayer is that you will feel and sense a real comfort and know that our precious Lord Jesus is with you, and the real assurance of knowing that your dear dad, son and brother is enjoying the presence of the One Whom he loved and served for so many years. It won't be long until we, too, will be reunited again and HOME at last.
Keep leaning hard, looking up and listening for the shout, He is coming.
Ephesians 2:4-7
Much, much love and again, assurance of our prayers.

Dear Cindy, Carol and Debbie, we are so sad about your dad. He was one of the greatest. What a Man of Faith he was as he lived, walked and talked it daily. I know the next few days and weeks will be very tough to get through but you have the greatest One to lean on. Cindy I am so glad to hear all of your daddy's family will get to be there, please give them our love and we will be praying for all you as you plan and go through the next few days.
We love you, please call anytime if you need to talk. Aunt Marceil and Uncle Steve

Dear Carol, Cindy and Debbie:
My heart is so sad this morning having heard of the death of your father. I know how you must all be hurting inside, but also rejoicing in the life that you Dad led and the knowledge that he will now be in heaven with the Lord. I remember many happy times with you girls and miss you all. I hope to see you perhaps at the visitation but just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and praying for God's grace for all of you during this time. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. My number is 508-1141. Love to you all, "Mom" McDaniel.
