Condolence: Anita
So sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I still remember your father calling my Dad, Donald Jackson, over the years and you calling shortly after my Dad passed. It was so nice to talk to one of Dad's old friends and hear about the times they shared. They are now together having a class reunion!!
Take good care. With Love, Beth

Condolence: Walter was one of my Sunday school teachers at then First EUB Church. He was one of those truly decent men who set an example for all of us in his demeanor, service, and love for the Lord. I probably haven’t seen him in 50 years, but I have always remembered him and appreciate his role in my life.

We are so sorry to hear of Walt’s passing. The time we spent with him in September and the pictures are treasures for us. Walt was very special to our family and we will cherish our wonderful memories. I know he and my Dad are having a great reunion in Heaven.

Condolence: He was always Mr. Ridenour to me, at church and at the bank. I did not know until today that he was a USAF veteran. Back in the late 1960's or early 1970s when I was on active duty with the US Army and in Martinsburg to visit family, the teller at the bank would not cash my check because it was from an out-of-state bank. I asked to see Mr. Ridenour and he approved my check. I have never forgotten that kindness. May God grant you peace in your grief and joy in knowing that he was a very special person.

Condolence: Anita, we're sorry for the grief you are feeling but know that you are also rejoicing that your dad is in heaven now, kneeling at Jesus' feet. I, too, just said goodbye to my dear Mother on December 29th. Perhaps they've met each other on the streets of gold! May God bless you and comfort you.
