Ron, Sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. From what you shared at work, I know this was a difficult time for you and your family. She was ready to go home. I know it’s always difficult to lose a loved one but feel peace knowing she is now in the presence of our Heavenly Father. Your friend, Brian Schatz

My sincere sympathy on the passing of your dear Naomi. I am Jean (Scheffler) Weaver, formerly of 171 Manheim Street, Mount Joy. We lived just down the street from the Gantz family. I had last seen Naomi when I was doing volunteer work at the hospital. I had recently read this statement and found comfort in it: “Just because you cannot see me, does not mean that I am dead. It just means that I am somwhere else.” God bless you.

May God almighty bless and keep you and the family in His embrace. “They shall mount upon wings like and eagle” Amen.
