Dear June,
We were sorry to hear of Warren's passing and share your grief at this time. We have fond memories of our years together at the Chapel, coming to your home and others for Small Group Bible Study, picnics, Christmas parties, "banana stands", etc. You and Warren always welcomed us into your lovely Queens Lake home even offering it to us when you weren't going to be at home! These memories are treasured in our hearts.
We love you, dear friend. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Nancy and Dick
