See Condolences

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. May you and your family have comfort knowing that “there is going to be a resurrection.” (Acts 24:15)

My heart continues to be heavy over the passing of this phenomenal man and dear friend. My personal journey in friendship began in 1979 as I began that chapter in life with UnitedAirlines. We received a pair of gold-toned wings after completing training in 1979, and now in 2019 after completing life’s journey, Lucas now wears the most magnificent wings as he soars in heaven above. Rest well my friend...until we meet again. Blessings!

Dear family and loved ones, please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. It has helped me and many others to know that the Bible promises that soon God “will swallow up death forever” (Isaiah 25:8) and that He will bring about a resurrection of our dear loved ones (John 5 : 28, 29) . May “the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,” comfort you during your time of sadness. (2 Corinthians 1: 3)

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
