Dear Lisa:
We are saddened to learn of your mother’s death. You and your family have our deepest sympathy. Katie spoke of your mother and father many times. We had the pleasure of enjoying your mother’s company for our Christmas lunch last Christmas day with Juan Pablo and Katie and the Shraders. We had a delightful time with her.
We know you will miss her very much, but we rejoice, trusting in the promises of Christ our Savior, that she has gone to be with the Lord.
Peace and blessings to you,
John and Terry Rhoads
