•What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.Praying for Gods peace for you all…Love Jenny,Ty & Adrien & Logan
Dear Carolyn and family,
Not only do words come difficult at a time like this, but I’m confident they simply can not fill the sudden void in your your life. Regardless, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you mourn your father’s passing. Allow the deluge of tears to subside quickly, so the celebration of your father’s life can begin and his loving memory engraved in your heart. Finally, rejoice knowing that he now dwells in the house of the Lord free of the worldy suffering that surrounds us. Peace be with you and yours.
Sincerely,
Sherree and Mark

i am so sorry for you all
am thinking and praying for you all
I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun,
I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags.
I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you
Walt Whitman
Sharing memories today with you. Love, Judy

I’m sorry to hear of your loss. If there’s anything we can do, please don’t hesitate to ask. Prayers for you all.
Met Calvin only once. responding in place of those no longer with us who worked at Helms. They always said that he was a good, decent man. I didn’t realize his age.
My sincere condolences to the family of “Bud” Schnelle. Sincerely, Denny Albaugh

Schnelle Family,
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I was in Oregon visiting my sister or I would have stopped over. May you find peace in knowing he is in a much better place. God Bless

I remember you all from 36th street. Your father was always nice. I saw him at the Fish Market a few years back and I went up to him told him who I was & he thanked me for coming over. He looked great.
