Condolence from Tim and Karen Cedarland on July 14th, 2017 6:26 pm

Although we didn’t know him over a long period of time we fondly remember Art as a gracious and generous host along with Joy when we stayed as guests in their beautiful home.
May the God of all comfort be very near and dear to you all in your loss. We lost 3 parents in one year and to know we have the promise of seeing loved ones who have died in the Lord again is the greatest comfort of all!
With love in Jesus, Tim and Karen Cedarland

Condolence from Dwight & Jessie Dods on July 18th, 2017 10:09 am

Dear Joy and Family,
May the God of all comfort, comfort you as none other can do. What a comfort to know that we will soon see Art again, not in his frail body that he suffered in the last few years, but in a body of glory! Phil. 3:21 That happy day is just about to take place! ” For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven . . . and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words”. Nothing but happy memories of Art.
With love in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Dwight & Jessie Dods
