Phil and I are sincerely sorry for your loss. My happy memories are many, even as far back as a very young girl being taken by bus to Lancaster with Aunt Alta to get new shoes. Loved her gentle nature and always felt close to her. Sorry to have missed seeing you all. Live, Sondra and Phil

Dear Carol and Bob and families,
It was with great sadness that I read of your mother’s passing. You have our sympathy as I know you all loved her and cared for her and she loved you. She was such a joy to have as a neighbor, and always so cheerful….on the phone too when talking to her at Brethren Village. We were blessed by her life. I hope she did not suffer at the end, but had a peaceful passing. In the light of eternity it will be a short time of separation from her if one trusts the Lord as Savior and will join her in Heaven one day.
You have our sympathy and hope that you will sense God’s grace,comfort and love in the days ahead.
Rosemary Brubaker, for Jim too
