Dear Mabel and Family,
    I was sorry to hear of John's passing away.  We never know how God is going to orchestrate things in this life. The one good thing is God knows best, and if we allow Him to have His way, he goes through the hard times with us and lightens the burden. I found that to be true when Phoebe passed away. Struggling against His will is very difficult.     I trust you and your family really feel the peace of God and can rest and trust in Him completely.     " In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and he will direct your path."      Prov.  3 : 6     " Praise be to the Lord,........ because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death,  to guide our feet into the path of peace."  Luke  1 : 68,  78 - 79     What a blessing to rest in Jesus and to experience His love.     Thank you, Mabel, for the way you blessed our church services over the years by playing the organ and piano so very well.
The church was very blessed to have you participate with us so ably.  I, for one, really enjoyed it and was blessed ! Thank you!
With Love,
J. Carl Mellinger  For Pat (Crider) too      ( We are still in our honeymoon stage.)

My condolences to the entire John Seventko family. May God bless and comfort you at this time.

There was never two people who deserved each other more than the two of you.
