May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. Psalms 116:15.

Carol, Cindy, and Kalen- I am saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. I have fond memories of visiting her and Aunt Doris as a child. I'm especially appreciative of her constant help and presence at the hospital when Mom was sick. I will always cherish that 10 minute call last February when I called her to let her know of Dads passing. She talked and I just listened. I won't be able to attend the service, but will be thinking of you. Love the pics you posted here! My condolences. -David

Dear Carol, Cindy, Kalen and families, we are so sad to hear about Laurice. She was loved so much by all of us. She, Doris and Margie shared many happy times together and us too. We still miss them not being on Crestcliff Drive.
Much love, Buddy, Marsha, Chris and Family
