Was so sorry to hear of your parents' death. It was an honor to know your parents as they truly exemplified Christian lives. I still remember going to Church and seeing your family. And when I was back in Bucyrus I would often see your parents volunteering for one thing or another. Your Mom was preparing the reception at both my parents' funerals. And the fact that there was such a love connection between your parents that even death could not keep them apart. May you feel peace and comfort in knowing that they are now together again and can't imagine any other place than in heaven. I know my parents were happy to welcome them to heaven. My families' prayers continue for you all. God Bless!
