Dear Aunt Linda,Brad, Barry and Tammy,
There just aren’t words to express how sorry we are to have lost Uncle Dave. May your fondest memories help you through this terrible loss. You will get thru this, with God’s HELP,SUPPORT, and CONSOLATION. Psalm 94:17-19 says: Unless the LORD had given me HELP, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.When I said,”My foot is slipping”,your love, O LORD, SUPPORTED me. When anxiety was great within me, your CONSOLATION brought joy to my soul. . My prayer for you is that you will find all the help, support and consolation you need right now. Love always, Vic and family

My grandfather, to whom I was very close, passed away when I was in fifth grade. It was very hard for me, too. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Mrs. McAvoy
