  1. Please accept our sincere condolences. May the words quoted from this song bring you a measure of comfort as it did for us.
    ”If a man or woman should die, can they live again?
    Hear the promise God has made:
    He will call; The dead will answer.
    They shall live at his command.
    For he will have a longing
    For the work of his own hand.
    So have faith, and do not wonder,
    For our God can make us stand.
    And we shall live forever,
    As the work of his own hand ”(Job 14:13-15)

  5. To Evelyn’s family- You all have our sympathy. You sure were lucky to have such a great mother. She was such a fun lady. She and your Dad were great friends of Duane’s parents and she told us about the fun they all had. She had a lot of stories about the Lynch boys when they were growing up. We were lucky enough to visit her New Year’s Eve morning and she told us many of those stories again. We will always treasure that visit. Sorry we can’t be there with all of you but we keep you in our prayers. Duane and Pat Lynch
