Eldie was our exterminator and we just adored him! He was super sweet, kind and always helpful in making my family and feel more comfortable in our home. I was just talking about Elide with my extended family on Thanksgiving. He had helped some of them with their pest concerns and spoke so highly of his professionalism.
My condolences to the Lawrence family. And may many happy memories of Eldon be with you. But when sadness comes, may these loving promises from Jehovah God help you to endure. “Do not be anxious….but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7; Isaiah 25:8 NWT.
