Steve and Jennifer,
With my family I send you all our love and sympathy. We too know the loss of a parent is not easy to fathom and hard to live through. Be aware that with her suffering over, she is better able to watch over you and your entire family.
Take care of each other and if we can do anything let us know, we are here for you in prayer and everyday living.
God Bless,
Tana, Rusty, Emily, and Brayden Clark

Austin Family,
Just a note to let you know that I am praying for your family during this difficult season. I am praying that the God who transcends all understanding will give you comfort and peace. Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 verse 4 says: "a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance." I am praying that this week you will have time to mourn but you will also have times of joy as you remember and celebrate the life of the loved one that God blessed you with.
God bless you all.

Steve and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Linda will be greatly missed. She was such a caring person and did such lovely sewing and making just about anything with her hands. She always wore a smile and brought others to smile with her. My thought and prayers will be with you now and forever.
Love You all
Tina
