To Jane and family my prayers are with you all. My top memory was our mission trip with Russ and Jane to Bibles and Literature in France. Really enjoyed serving there with our group with Russ and Mary Ann Miller as our coordinators.
Sorry Jane for your loss. Don is in a better place. Sure enjoyed both of you on our team in France. Blessings Russ and Mary Ann❤️🙏
Jane. Will be praying for you in your loss. Thank you for your faithful service to God through St Matthew. The joy of the Lord will be your strength.
Sorry to hear about Don, Jane our prayers with you and your family. 🙏🏻
Dear Family,
My heart is broken for you over the loss of dear Don. I had the pleasure of singing with him in the choir at St. Matthew. He was so kind to me and always had a huge smile on his face. I am praying that you will feel God’s loving arms wrapped around you, holding you close, and filling you with His peace in the days and weeks ahead.
