Deepest Sympothy

My thoughts are with the Klovanich family during this sad time.
Sincere condolences to Tami and the rest of her family.
Tami and Delores, you are in my thoughts and have my deepest sympothy
Tami and family,
You have our deepest sympathy, our thoughts and prayers are with you. In 2nd Timothy, Chapter 4, Verse 6 – 8 we find these words “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: From now on there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing”. “I’M FREE: Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief; don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free”.
