Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Pauline and family, I am so very sorry to hear of the death of Art, a sweet and wonderful man I feel so honored to have known. I was unable to attend the service this morning but you were all in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss seeing Art at church every Sunday. He always amazed me with his strength and perseverence each week. Like my dad, Art is with our Father now, sharing in everlasting glory. We are overwhelmed with sadness, but they are free of pain and watching over us. God bless you all and bring you peace during this difficult time.
My condolences goes out to you and your family. May God continue to bless each and every one of you. Shevonia Grace Pleasant Grove Library sgrace@dallaspubliclibrary.org 214-670-0964

Dear Kjerstine and all, My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. When my step-brother died many years ago, a friend sent me this little poem by Emily Dickinson. It has meant a great deal to me. The Bustle in a House The Morning after Death Is solemnest of industries Enacted upon Earth– The Sweeping up the Heart, And putting Love away We shall not want to use again Until Eternity. In sympathy, Dale Dale McNeill
