Dear Burkle family & all.Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this time. May God bless all. The Albert & Sis West family
Dear family and friends, be sure that you all are in our prayers. Phyllis will always be remembered as one of the most faithful, kindest and compassionate women who ever walked through the doors of First Church of God. Her optimism was refreshing and adorable along with her close walk with God. We look forward to seeing her again soon. As the bible says in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NKJV –
“3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” May the Lord comfort you in the days to come.
In Christ’s Love,
Pastor Chuck and the congregation at First Church Of God
Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Hi Darlene, Annicka and I send our condolences. I know the absences from class were due to your mom’s illness and that things have been bumpy for you this spring. My heart goes out to you in your loss. Wishing you God’s amazing comforter, the Holy Spirit. Love, Laura
So sorry for your loss ,Darlene. I am praying for you and your family.
Tom Blake: I was sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I was away on a fishing trip that week and only found out this weekend. I will keep her and you in my prayers. Take care friend, Dale Naegele.
My deepest sympathies to all who were touched by the Life of Phyllis. I had just learned of her passing this past Sat. evening, while among some 1963 classmates from CCHS. The last time I saw Phyllis was at Curves on National Rd in Whg. It had been years, but she was still that gentle Phyllis from high school. May those GOOD MEMORIES bring you peace. Lois classmate and Dale’s wife
We are happy for Phyllis, but sad about your loss Eric. God Bless.
We are so sorry that we could not make it to the funeral home, Eric, because we had to work.
You will be missed.
Almighty Father, source of forgiveness and salvation, grant that our relatives and friends who have passed from this life may, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all the saints, come to share your Eternal happiness through Christ our Lord. Amen
Eternal Rest, grant to them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, may he keep us from evil and bring us to life everlasting. Amen.
