Condolences

Dearest Kathy and family, Words cannot express what the heart wants you to know. Yes, we at ALCC (ARE) your seatbelt, love you dearly and celebrate your mom's life, her example, and going home to her place with our Lord. I was grateful to be able to witness the testimonies of her children who indeed rose up to bless her. Your family is an example to all of us. Love in Christ, Sandy Warnica

Dear Les and family, We were deeply saddened to hear of cousin Betty's passing and send our deepest sympathy and love to you and all the family. Because Paul is overseas at this time we are unable to be with you today, but are praying for you that you will sense the loving presence, embrace and comforting love of our Lord Jesus, the Good Shepard of His sheep, as you walk through these hours and days. (Isa. 40:11) May you know the strength of God's peace each day and be comforted by the dear memories of your sweet Betty. It was such a blessing when you both had stopped by to visit us here in Burlington a couple of years ago and we will always remember your thoughtfulness. When Paul returns, we will plan a time to visit with you, but until then we will continue to pray for you and your precious family. May the grace of our Lord encourage your hearts and keep you close to Him and each other in the days ahead. The prayers and sympathy of all our family, (Joel & Amanda, Jonathan & Vera & Daniel, Nathan & Rebecca & Ivy & Lily Rowan) are sent your way with all our love today and always. You are in His heart...and in ours. Much love, Gloria & Paul Willoughby

Dear Les and family ... we are so sorry to hear of Betty's passing. Betty was a wonderful and loving person. I am sure that when she stood before the Lord the words "Well done good and faithful servant!" would have resounded through the heavens. I know how much she loved you and your children. She had a heart of gold. I know how you and Betty enjoyed watching Katie and the youth growing up in the church. We will truly miss her. Please know that we are praying for all of you. God bless and comfort you at such a time as this!
