What to Say?See Condolences

my condolences go to Debbie and all the family. I have many memories of growing up with Don. We became friends at age 8 in West Pullman. Many days of playing touch football and baseball at the park. Growing up caddying and learning golf together. I hope Don told you of our ability to play four games of Monopoly in an hour. The dice flew, tokens sped around, and within 15 minutes their was a concession by one party or the other. Two bits was the prize. All the years growing up together we were the only Cub fans in our groups that hung out at the park. Don, I hope you were able to cherish the Cubs' championship this past fall. It was many years in coming. You will always be in my memories.

Dear Friend: Alleluia! for Bob. For you, a time to hold on to good memories, and let sad ones go. You are hugged. My family has had a rotating time of illness, so I will not be at the services, but i am certainly thinking about you.

Condolences to the Bach family, Bless you in the coming year.

Dear friend,May you be comforted by faith that the Lord has brought that special person you have lost to a beautiful place of everlasting light and love. God Bless!

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr.Bach. Our Heavenly Father gives us a comforting thought when He tells us that soon death will be "swallowed up forever." (1 Cor. 15:54) Along with this, God also promises that ones who have died will be able to live again. (John 5:28,29) I hope these encouraging scriptures can bring you some comfort during this difficult time.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Bach Family- My heartfelt condolences to all of you. I have enjoyed being your gardener over the years. I took special joy in Don's impish sense of humor. He will be missed. Be at peace. Cheri
