    Keith, we are thinking of your family as you say bye here. We know he has made it to life's journeys end, and we know he is happy and would not come back but it still leaves a great void in your lives. We never actually got to meet your Dad but Remember you speaking of him and his farming.

    Dear Aunt Mary, Keith, Jean, Gale, David and family. I send you my love and prayers. What a blessing Uncle Junior was to our entire family and such a testimony of God's blessings. His quick smile and zest for life have forever touched me and many who knew him. I know God and my daddy and lots of other saints welcomed him home to heaven. May the Holy Spirit comfort you, Janet Blankenship Haflich & Danny Haflich, JG, and Marle'na

    My deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time. I hope the words at Rev.21:4 bring you comfort. It says: "God will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
