I am very sorry for your loss. When I have suffered in losing a loved one in death I was able to draw comfort from family, friends, and oue Heavenly Father. The scriptures at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4 says, "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God." I hope you are able to find solace in these words and draw strength from God. With Deepest Sympathy,
JM

This was a kind, mild-mannered gentleman who expressed gratitude And grace to me when I was new to the building. I loved his smile and how he referred to himself as “the king” when I served his special salad to him everyday. He loved his wife and family and showed us all how to accept life’s challenges and changes with courage and strength. Rest In Peace.
