Love, Pat and Kent The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips"

"Ron, Sue & Danny Race Relation to Deceased: Friend of Jennifer I did not find out that your Dad had passed away until the other day. We send you our love and know that the many happy memories you made with your Dad and your faith have given you strength. Your Dad is now safely in Gods' hands. Our apology at not being able to support you at that time. You are in our prayers. Ron, Sue & Danny May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. An Old Irish Blessing"
