Linda & family, I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s a very difficult time in life, I lost my Dad to cancer 2 1/2 yrs. agoI pray that God’s grace gives you peace & comfort in knowing, this isn’t the end, we will see our father’s again!Linda, your name just came up the other day in conversation on FB, so to see the Water’s name again, was just a comformation, that God’s at work through all things! ;-
I only twice had a conversation with your Dad, but he had a major impact on my life. Both times, he spoke to me about finishing college. I always wondered what he might have thought if he knew I obtained five degrees and went on to teach engineering. Bless him for his encourgement.
Aunt Norma and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Dale’s passing. He was my favorite uncle because he reminded me so much of my dad,Parley. The way Dale spoke, walked and hugged me made me feel so much comfort. When Dale hugged me, it was like getting a hug from my dad, very gentle, tender and loving. I have many fond memories of Dale and they will remain with me forever. It does bring me comfort to know that he and dad are united now, that my dad and my mom were probably on the greeting committee in heaven waiting for Dale along with his other brothers and sisters and parents and other loved ones. My prayers are with you Aunt Norma, through this difficult time.
I love you.
