My husband and I would like to offer our condolences to the family. I always loved Carlene and loved to visit her when she and her family would come see us or we would go visit them. May she go with God and rest assured she will be with him for all eternity.

To Treasa, my friend and my sister-in-Christ Jesus, “Once (upon a time) Sylvia saw through a glass darkly, Now she sees her risen Lord. Once (upon a time) Sylvia fought through tests and trials, Now she stands in faith’s reward. Once (upon a time) Sylvia had but partial knowledge, Now she knows as she is known. Once (upon a time) Sylvia walked a pilgrim’s journey, Now her feet are safely home.” [adapted from Roy Lessin and 1st Cor. 13:12] May God comfort your heart today and bless you with endearing memories that your heart will always treasure. With my Sympathy and Prayers, Your friend and your brother–in–Christ Jesus Joseph C. Rose
