Dear Michelle and family,
My heart goes out to you all during this very difficult and painful time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39

Dear Liz, Michelle, and Sheri,
I was so shocked and saddened to read the newspaper yesterday and to learn that your husband and father had passed away. I have thought of you guys often over the years since I did your hair and strangely enough, I have thought of you many times over the last months. God whispers, I guess. I would just like to extend my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers over the next days and months. Never understanding these things, but trusting that God is in control will hopefully see you through this, and no doubt draw you closer to Him.
Praying for God’s peace for you all,
Kim Hilton (previously from City Looks)
Would love and enjoy hearing from you.
Dear Michele & Family,
We just wanted to express our deepest sympathy for your loss. We will miss seeing John at the bus stop…
Love, Christian, Stacy, Llana, and Ellie Clauss
Dear Liz, Sheri, and Michele,
We were shocked and saddened to learn of John’s passing in the paper. It is difficult to adjust to him not living among us. May you be comforted in knowing he lives and walks with our Lord. Please know you are in our prayers.
Sincerely,
Pat and Pat Klugh
Sorry to hear of your loss
