Dave & Lisa, There is no pain like the loss of a child, no matter the age. May you treasure the great times and good memories to help heal the broken hearts you have. In time it won’t hurt so bad, but your hearts will always feel the loss. May we all hope that the broken chain be linked up again someday. We love you

We came to know Jen’s grandparents, Lillard and Nancy, when they attended our church, Calvary Baptist in Mocksville, NC. They were such lovely people and such a blessing to our church. I wanted to say I am deeply sorry for their and the families loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time. May God bless all of you and comfort each of you.
