It's difficult to put into words how difficult times like these can become. If you haven't been there, you just cannot really comprehend the sorrow.

Please know that Jane and I want you to know that two old friends share your sorrow at this point in your lives and pray that Heavenly Father will help lift and sustain you in this special time of need.

Love always - - - - Dick and Jane

Dear Petersens,



Thank you for your fine examples. You gracefully and faithfully dealt with a difficult situation.



There is much about life and death that I don't understand, but I have hope through Jesus Christ that everything will be right.



The service was just right. You all did a good job. My thoughts and prayers are with you.



Love,



Brad
