Hi Iris,
Mom and I extend our sincere condolences to you. We pray for God’s love to comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time.
When we lived next to each other on Cedar Street and sat out on the porch during the summer, we remember Max coming over and having some nice conversations with him.
Unfortunately, due to Mom’s physical abilities and my commitments here at Luther Acres we will not be able to attend any services this Saturday; however our hearts and prayers are most certainly with you.
Sophia and Gene
