Tarr Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. Steve was a nice person and fun to be around when we were kids , at school and bible school in Bradleytown years ago. He’s with God now at peace. All will miss him. R. Callen (rt# 27) .
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Something that has brought my family and myself some comfort during a difficult time like this, is a promise from our loving God. At Isaiah 25:8, God promises “He will swallow up death forever,And…. he will wipe away the tears from all faces.” Hope this brings you all some help.
