Haha, shouldn’t you be cahrgnig for that kind of knowledge?!
Linda, so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember the summer we tore down the barn and what a great basement family room I had when it was done. I can still remember Dale’s last day at work, I wondered if I would ever make it to retirement. Time does truly seem to fly by because May 1st. I will have been retired 14 years. Once again, sorry

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family at this difficult time.
Our deepest condolences are with you in your time of grief. May you continue to find comfort in the memories that you all shared together and get comfort from knowing one day Sickness will be no more and Death will be a thing of the past. In times of grief such as these, We find it comforting to meditate on the words found in the Holy Writings at Job 14:14, 15. Job expressed his faith that God would bring him back to life if he should fall asleep in death as he said: All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait, until my relief comes. You will call, and I myself shall answer you.’ The scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunite with your loved one in the near future, right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. Psalms 37:10, 11 offers us this promise. My sincere condolences to your entire family.
