See Condolences

We were so sorry to hear of Buzz's passing. He was a wonderful man and our love and condolences to all his children and family.

Hannah and family, So sorry for your loss. We are praying for all of you.

My thoughts and prayers to the Tiber family for the passing of Mr. Tiber. May he Rest In Peace.

He was my uncle.....he pointed the way to Jesus to me. I'm sad here on earth, but happy that I will see him again in heaven.

So sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dan, although I did not have the privilege of meeting your father, you have spoken so fondly of him and have shared with me some of the experiences you've had with him. I especially recall hearing of his love for playing the piano and how amazing it must have been the last time he was able to play for you. In so many ways it has brought back memories of my own father and his love for music. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this time. You have so many good memories of your father to share forever with each other. God bless you all.
