Dave, my friend, you have tested your last carton and skied your last slope. Its time to meet your maker
with your heart full of hope! You will be missed, rest in peace!
Oh Julie and Jessica……what a sad day when we learned of your father’s passing. We are so sorry for your loss. Tell your mother she and your Dad did a FINE job raising two wonderful daughters. I am sure he will be greatly missed by everyone. Sincerely……….Ron, Jennifer and Konor Shoup
I would like to express my sincere condolences to Dave’s family. Isaiah 33:24 mentions a wonderful future time when “no resident will say: I am sick”, and Jesus promised at John 5:28, 29 that the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. In the meantime, may he support you at this difficult time.
Ann, Julie, and Jessica,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved husband and dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May the Lord bless you and keep you in His care at this very difficult time.
~Brian, Tracy, and Kate Disney
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
