Winnie and Joyce,
We are so sorry for your loss. He lived a full and happy life in the Lord and will be well remembered. We are so glad we got a chance to visit with him a little while.
Sorry we are not able to attend the services but we're sure they will be well attended. He was a friend to all.
Will call and chat soon.
Our love to both of you.

I'll always remember you and "Lendy" coming to minister to the residents at Edgewater right after I finished singing to them. What a great blessing you both were to the residents, staff and myself...and what a wonderful witness for our Lord. My deepest sympathy for your loss, which is heavens gain. Thanks to our great Saviors mercy and grace, I look forward to seeing you both there.
