    Louann and family, your mom was one of the best parts of my day at Queensway. She had the best stories, the kindest smile and was just a wonderful woman through and through. I will always remember the time I got to spend with her “nibbing” beans, cutting strawberries and talking about her family. May all your memories bring you comfort at this time.

    On this snowy day I am sending my condolences to all of Phyllis’ family. I remember Phyllis as a strong Christian woman both at Emmanuel and way back to our days at the Chapel in Clinton. She will be missed for sure but we can praise God that she is with her Savior and reunited with Bruce. We do not grieve as the world grieves.
