No services are scheduled at this time.

Gone too soon.

Words cannot describe the loss we feel.

Saying farewell to you.

Jesus chose to give you wings and now it’s time you flew.

We wish we could have more time and Jesus had let you stay.

Forever would not be long enough.

But we would take one more day.

We wish we had one more chance.

To see your smile light up the room

To laugh with you again

My dear just for a little while

Gone too soon, but not forgotten.

Until we see your face again, we love you.

But Jesus loved you more.
