Mark and Angie. I had heard the tragic story of the loss of both your parents and just felt such sorrow for you. What a beautiful love story they had for each other for all those years and for both to go with Jesus within hours of each other is just remarkable to me. They will continue their love in Heaven! What an amazing legacy of God’s love in their lives! God Bless and I will be praying for peace and joy through you loss.

To Jean and Sheldon’s Family,
I was totally shocked to see both your folks name’s in the obits this morning! I can’t imagine the grief you all must be experiencing.
I want you ALL to know I spent a lot of time w/Jean (30+ yrs doing her hair) and she ALWAYS had positive things to say about each and everyone of you!! I feel you have a great guardian angel in heaven named Jean now. 😉
Hang on to your wonderful family memories.
God Bless You All!
