Scott,
Our sincere condolences.
May your many great memories lift you and your family up in the coming days and months.
We are sorry to say we are unable to attend Denise’s services but lift you up in prayer.
Hugs
While our hearts are hurting, I find comfort in knowing she’s at peace now and in a much better place, watching over all of us.
I’m really hoping to make it, but with school just starting back up, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to. I wanted you to know I was thinking of you, so I’m sending something in the mail. I hope it brings you even the smallest bit of comfort during this difficult time.
Please know you’re not alone. I’m keeping you and the whole family in my thoughts and prayers. I’m here for you Uncle Scott.
Sorry 4 your loss Scott, Jerry
Sorry I missed!
