I rarely saw my cousin Joe (and Caroline), but when I did, he remembered me and made a point to say hello. Love, sympathy, and prayers to his family and friends. Mary Siener Clark
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. My heart goes out to the family. Death is something we will never get use to. In fact, God’s Word refers to death as an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26). Very soon our loving Heavenly Father, Jehovah God, will remove death once and for all and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth.
I miss you, Dad…
