I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. Recently I lost my dear mother, and within 30 days I lost my mother-in-law.
What helped us during this time period was the comfort from the Holy Bible, like at Isaiah 25 verse 8 – “The
Sovereign Lord will swallow up death forever, and wipe away the tears from all faces.” Also at Revelation 21
verse 4 we find God’s promise to remove both pain and death. For more comfort, I turn to the website at:

I sure will miss you uncle J B. I loved hearing you sing and play your guitar it always reminded me of grandpa. I loved sitting and talking to you and Tiny anytime I would see you out and about.
Tiny,
Marsha and I just read JB’s obit. We were watching TV and happen to think of you guys. It is now 12-22-20. So I Googled his name and came up with his obit.
We always think of you two and your family when we drive by your old house. We still miss you to this day. Thank goodness for memories. My the good Lord continue to watch over you and yours.
Please call one day. Our house number is still in the book. I’ll pass his passing on to Sue , Mary I. and Roger as no one knew.
Warm holiday regards if you ever see this…
Bill and Marsha, Flushing, MI
