    Cousins,
    Uncle Joe was one of a kind, he made me laugh! He loved you all and spoke proudly of your accomplishments. His sadness over the loss of his 2 sisters over the last year and a half was reflected in our hearts at his passing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers!
    With love,
    Susie, one of the Dutilly Kids

    My sincere condolences to the Biron family for your loss. God’s Word says: The span of our life is 70 years,
    Or 80 if one is especially strong. (Psalm 90:10) At 95 yrs old he was a special man. The Bible also says that God will one day remove the painful sting of death (Revelation 21:3,4), I pray that this promise is fulfilled soon.

    Lucy and family:
    May God fill the empty place in your
    hearts with His own wonderful and
    abiding presence. We just returned
    from a vacation in Kentucky. How-
    ever, you have had a special place in our prayers. May God’s strong
    comfort sustain you, and thanks-
    giving for a life worthily lived help
    you to rejoice even in your sorrow.
