Time moves so quickly but our hope is in the Lord. The Bible says "To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord." Brenda, I would like to Thank You for being such good friends to my parents, they always had fun with you people and you always opened your home to them. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Brenda and Family, I was saddened to read of Ronald's death. His name brings back memories of living on Schoolhouse Road and riding my bike past the Jarvais house on Birch Swamp Road many, many times. May your memories sustain you at this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Peggy (now living in Mims, Florida)
