Please accept my condolences for the loss of your loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone.
Steve and family, so sorry for your loss, but we all know that Claude is in a much better place right now. I will always remember what a happy spirit your Dad had. No matter what kind of day you were having, 30 seconds with him, and you were on top of the world again. He just had that gift! He is with his Savior now.
I am sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. I used to work with Claude and he was such a great man! He’s dancing with Jesus now and there’s no better place to be! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
To the children and entire family of Bro Claude, we are so sorry to hear of his going home. He is home now and he and Patty are together again. God’s big heaven is getting more and more of our loved ones. Our prayers for each of you, we will probably not get to attend the viewing. S. T. is having a heart procedure done on Thursday. Not sure about being able to attend funeral either, but know that you are all in our hearts and prayers. Love to each.
