Please accept our condolences and know that we are praying for you all.

He, along with his wife and children, have loved on us as if we were their own. Thank you for the memories and extending that love our way.

Hi Raphsody, so sorry to hear about the passing of your father insofar as the grief and heartbreak that always accompanies losing a loved one, but so happy he is at home with the Lord and out of pain. Prayers for your mom, you and your families will be ongoing. Be blessed, stay safe and prayers for travel safety and mercy for you all. Deborah Rambach (CBC Huntsville)
