The world lost a special man. My heart goes out to the family he loved so dearly. The world feels a bit emptier
My deepest sympathy to the Rhoten family. May all of you somehow find peace.
Dan and Sonys, so sorry for the loss of your son. We know how hard this time is for you. Praying for God’s comfort at this time, as only he can help when no one else can. Love in Christ, Ken and Marilyn Mccullough.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose someone you love.
Sarah, my deepest sympathies on the passing of your husband. I was totally shocked when one of the other servers at Denny’s told me the sad news. I virtually got sick thinking of how devastating this must be for yourself and your children. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
I’m so very sorry to hear about this.
He in God’s loving hands now.
