So sorry for your loss.
Dave and Linda Balas
Hump, Sorry for the loss of your mother. She was like a second mother to us guys that grew up with you. I will always remember the donuts that were made by her and the fun times sitting in her living room.
Glenn-o!!
Our sympathies go out to all of Posie’s family. She was such a strong presence in Dempseytown for a long time. She helped and was a vital part of many community functions. Posie was a very nice person. David and Kathy Plyler
I would like to offer my condolences for your loss. When a love one fall asleep in death, words alone cannot ease the pain of our loss our loving God Jehovah understands how we feel and he comforts us by means of his word the Bible. God promises that “he will do away with death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” (Isa. 25:8). We can also find comfort from Jesus words at John 5:28-29 “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. May these scriptures bring comfort and calmness of heart to you during the difficult days ahead.
