To the DeVillier Family, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. She was the nicest lady and I always enjoyed your family coming over to the house or us going to your house in Groves. I know your parents are rejoicing in heaven with my parents like old times. My parents were Harry and Linda Reed. Prayers to you and your family! Your Friend, Ken Reed

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Terry and Sue, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. I can tell by knowing you and Sue, what a wonderful mother she was. I pray the Lord fill your hearts and minds with precious memories and you find joy in them. Our hope remains in Jesus and what a wonderful gathering it will be when we meet them in Heaven. Love always, Elisa Breuer
