And although we were not able to make the memorial service this past week, may Jesus our God of comfort continue to embrace you all with His loving arms.

Take hope from scripture that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". May our risen Lord & Savior richly bless you all now and in the days ahead. 'I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it someday for a crown.
