To Lucille and the Family and Friends: You are in our thoughts and prayers. We pray that the Lord will comfort and guide you and give you strength, courage and guidance at this time of mourning. “He will never leave you or forsake you.” Blessings from your friends Bob and Christine McKim.
Lucille,
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Thank God for all the time he allowed you to have with Danny! I know you must have had, and lived, a marriage blessed by Him. I will, for the rest of my life, remember and cherish the good times we had together at PCH. May God continue to bless you and your family…
Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope.
Nothing that we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint.
Therefore; we must be saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness.
