When I was alone and broken, Joyce responded with the love of Christ and met my physical, emotional and spiritual needs. I will always be eternally grateful. Now, as a regenerated soul, she stands erect and pain-free before the author and finisher of her faith. May God abundantly bless her for the good deeds that were done in the name of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
David, our hearts and prayers are with you as you journey through this loss. May the thought that this loss is only temporary and that one day you will rejoin your mom, dad and beloved wife give you the hope to press on. Always know that you are never alone.
In Christ’s love,
Marion
Our prayers go out the Wheeler family. My brothers worked with Delmon ( Heavy) doing drywall. We had many laughs with him. With deep sympathy the Harrington family from Avon
