    I want to express my sincere sympathy for the loss of your loved one and share the hope promised in the Bible.
    God has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a
    guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead. (Acts 17:31)
    If your heart yearns to see a loved one again, study the Bible to make this resurrection hope your very own.

  19. Bonnie and Mike Erickson

    May 29, 2010 at 8:59 PM

    Leonard was a friend I didn’t know a long time but in the few years I knew him I became a close friend. It’s amazing how many memories I have made with him in just a few years. He always called me Darlin and I loved it everytime I heard him say that. Kathy and Lenord are one of a kind type of friends, they would do anything for you and always make you laugh no matter what. Well Lenoard I will make sure we will keep Kathy laughing and smiling and we will always share the memories I had such a short time building with you Love you two very much and Lenoard you will always be in my heart and my prayers. Love you Kathy Love The Beavers AKA (LIPS)
