Dear Kathy and Family, please accept my sympathy on the passing of your dear mother. I can’t think of our church growing up without thinking of her! My dad and sister send their condolences as well. It’s so hard to lose our mothers, but may the Lord bless you with all of the happy memories of her life!  Love, Theresa McCoy Graybill

The Brown family offers our deepest condolences to Dottie’s family. Our families go back a long way, and it’s with great sadness that we have lost Dottie and Mike in such a short span of time. It is also with great pride and happiness that we were given the opportunity to have been associated with such great people for so many years.
