We have been blessed abundantly with a mom, grandmother and friend that loved God and delighted in serving others for God’s glory. She is deeply missed, but we have the calm assurance that we will see her again around the Throne of God.
Your loss is one we have all shared. Jaunita and I have a sincere desire to be there with you on this memorable occasion but cannot. Our loss is but for a moment, for there will be joy in the morning. Not goodbye, but see you in awhile. God speed.
We were blessed to know Libby Tiffner. She was a delightful lady who loved The Lord Jesus. We are out of town Friday and Saturday, so sorry to miss this service.
