    Guy, Kerri and extended family,

    I was sorry to hear about your mom’s passing Guy. Your mom was a dedicated woman to her family and to those she cared for in the community. Made me smile and had a way of making sure you knew where you stood. To you and yours may you know many are thinking of you.

    The Deitz family,
    I’m very sorry to hear of. Carol’s passing . I remember her fondly as one my very first employers at the Green Forest Motel. I worked in various positions over a couple summers and drove up from Lucan to work on weekends through winter . As a young teen , she made quite an impression on me as a kind lady who help me develop a strong work ethic. I’m very glad to have known her!

    Please know my heartfelt condolences to Guy’s and Kerry’s families are mixed with love of my Aunt Carole. Whom although absent by miles over many years physically, we shared many phone conversations over the years. I found her caring nature for her sister, my mother and myself enduring and true. A sense of humor that was hers alone. Enjoy your precious memories in the future.

    Prayer for Spiritual Strength
    14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
