Dear Joan, Bill and other family members:
When we read the obituary for Rory we planned that we would attend the funeral services. This morning we got a call from Fred’s sister, Margaret, telling us she will be arriving at the airport in Green Bay and would need us to pick her up there. She will be arriving there the same time as the funeral and that will change our plan to attend.
When someone loses a loved one who has meant so much to them, it’s hard to know how to begin our sympathy and words of comfort. Please know we are lifting you in prayer during this difficult time. We are praying the Lord’s sweet presence is especially real to you as He brings you the comfort only He can give.
Thinking of you at this time. Your friends Fred and Juanita
Cornell, MI
