For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39
Dear DeForrest and Tena Wena,
We are sorry that we are unable to be with you today as you say good‑bye to your father, DeDay.
We can think back and smile at some of the good times we shared. He was a “Top Notch” domino player and was a good sport whether he won or lost.
When we came to visit, we always looked forward to sitting around the kitchen table with all the snacks Lou would have. Looking forward to a few good matches.
I remember also how dedicated he was to his church, and to all of you.We love you and continually have you in our hearts and prayers.
God bless you and we love you,

Remember: It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; He will never leave you or forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:8
Be Blessed,
