    Anne, we are very sad to read of the death of Frances. She was a wonderfully kind lady with a great deal of grace and poise. Thinking of you and your family. Love, the Sams family

    Dear Family, My sympathies go out to all during this most difficult time. Almighty God will soon undo all that death has caused. (Revelation 21:4) By means of a resurrection to life, many who have died will live again. (Acts 9:36-41) These promises are our guarantee from God who cannot lie. (Titus 1:2)
