We didn’t know your Dad but we do know the pain of saying “good-bye” to our own Dads’. It really is a wierd feeling when the last parent is gone. We are so grateful that he knew and loved the Lord! Hugs and prayers to you and your family, Lavonne!

LaVonne and the Martin Family, I send my sympathy in the passing of your father. May God grant you comfort and peace
at this time. How blessed you were to have him support your mission work. He was always kind and caring each time that I
met him or talked to him on the phone. My sister Mary Ellen sends her sympathy to your sister Dawn also.
With love, Ruth Parker

Dear Lavonne, Sorry to hear of your father’s passing and so glad that you were able to spend the last three years with him. Did not know your mom passed away so many years ago. I will be praying today as there is probably a wake and then tomorrow the funeral. Love you, Gail and Cecil Deisch
