Sunday morning at Wintersville Methodist Church will be missing a special person. Ernie and Dorthey sat in the last pew in the balcony, and if they weren't there you knew one of them was sick or out of town. Now as we sing go in peace, go in joy ,go in love, I will miss the touch of her gentle hand in mine.My deepest sympathy to her family. Rest in peace my dear Christian friend.

My condolences to the Family. During your time of grief meditate on these comforting thoughts from the scriptures. Acts 24:15 -There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. Romans 6:23 - ...the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord. Revelation 21:3-4 - "God... will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore the former things have passed away. As you think of your dear loved one may the memories that she leaves behind bring you great joy. C. Stafford Columbus, OH

Please accept my deepest condolences. I remember the years when she and Charles worked in the church, even when the windows fell and broke her wrists. Will keep you in my prayers and think of your mom every Easter. She is a great, loving woman. Bill Kidder
