Condolences to the Family

Jere, Marty, Josh and girls accept our sincere sympathy in your loss of Evan.

A shock in the loss of family is hard to accept sometimes. But we can’t judge the Lord’s life plan for us. Our thoughts are with you.

Alyce Brown and Dennis Genner

Our family would like to offer our deepest sympathy for the loss of your son, brother, grandson and friend. Losing someone so young is one of the hardest trials to endure. It is ok to allow time to grieve for even Jesus wept when he lost his friend Lazarus in death. We pray that you allow God to be a help and strength to you during your time of distress. (Psalms 46:1) How we all long for the time when death, sickness, and pain will be a thing of the past. (1 Corinthians 15:26 and Revelation 21:3, 4) May God continue to bless and keep you during this sad time. (Numbers 6:24-26)

my sincere sympathy to all the bunting family & friends of evan,
     the loss of my nephew stacy j was so tragic, and now to have heard of the loss of another young man in the family is unfathomable.  my heart goes out to all of you in this very difficult time. the nelson family (stacy j’s mom chris)lost our sister cathy in a tragic car accident 19 years ago, so i can feel your pain. may good memories and the grace of time heal your hearts.

Dear Bunting Family , You don’t know me but I wanted to say I am praying for your family. I read about your son in the newspaper and my heart is crying for your loss. I know that GOD has a bigger purpose and it is so hard for us to understand. Last year I lost my daughter I never miss that one last kiss and I love you ever again with my other two children. Just love each other and hug your children, they are all a gift from GOD.
God Bless ,
