Dear Family Members,
I was saddened to hear of Maynard's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May he be at peace now and with our Heavenly Father and among family and friends that have passed before him. May he now be pain free and walk amongst the living eternally.

Dear Aunt Zetta, Linda and Steve,
You were always my favorite relatives. It hurts so much to know what you are going through. There are really no words that can help take the pain away, other than to know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and Uncle Maynard is with the Lord - What better Hands could he possibly be in?
I have such gratitude and loved him like a father as he held me up when I lost mine. I am forever grateful for this and having spent time with him to hear his laughter when telling stories of Dad and Mom one last time. Those memories will live on in my heart until we meet again one day.
You are in our thoughts and prayers for Gods guidance and peace. May your happier memories help to comfort you until time can heal the ache you are feeling in your hearts. I love you all and will be thinking of you.
With Our Deepest Sympathy and Always with Our Love,
Rick and Karen

I love the picture you posted of Grandpa Gruver! His eyes are full of sweetness. Our family will miss him and are thankful to have spent some time with him before going home to the Lord. You will remain with us here in this world and your great grandson, Joshua, will grow up to know you and the wonderful and loving relationship you had with Grandma Gruver.
