“Pat & Buddy (Rev.) We were so very sorry to hear about your Dad. You have a wonderful Christian herritage. You know that one day both your Mom and Dad will meet you in Heaven! Its very hard this time of the year especially,loosing your loved one. My Dad Henry Sweeney passed away 2 weeks before Christmas. Someone sent me this poem and it helped me a lot. Maybe it will help you too. I walked an unfamiliar path one day, A path of sorrow I thought that I would never know..another bright tomorrow. The weeping wailing winter wind, echoed in my grief. My heart was like the frozen earth, with no relief… But winter passed, and spring broke through.and with it life afresh, anew. In every fragile, fragrant flower, I saw God’s life renewing power. Then as spring sunshine smiles through rain, I found that I could smile again!! Our Love Donna & Bob Palmer Mechanicsville, Md.”
“Pat & Family, I am so sorry for your lose. You have many beautiful memories of your mom and dad that will sustain you through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. “
