I have such good El Paso memories of your wonderful father, husband. Prayers of comfort & love to each of you. Love, Wendy
We are so sorry for your great loss. Your Dad was so kind, and he will be remembered fondly. May time soften the pain until all that remains is the beauty of the memories and the love.
Condolences and love from the family of A. Orr and Roxie W. Owens.
Lifelong memories of very spiritual times and loving ones too from this wonderful family back in El Paso. Our love to you all and may He comfort your hearts.
I’m very sorry for your loss, and I wanted to offer you some comfort that I’ve found in the Bible. Isaiah 25:8 says “God will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” I hope this verse brings you some comfort in this hard time.
