I am so very sorry for your loss. May happy memories wipe away your tears, I know you all had many. Glenni I love you bunches, love Ruby
Glennis and Donna,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Please reach out to me if you need anything.
I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Mr. McCormick. It is wonderful that he and Mrs. McCormick were married 75 years. He must have really been a special person. I know that it is hard to lose someone who is so loved. I lost my brother and my dad 6 months apart and I found much comfort in the Bible. I thought I would leave some of the scriptures that have helped me. I hope you can make time to read them.
Psalms 37:10, 11, 29
Isaiah 25:8
John 5:28
John 11:25
Acts 24:15
Revelation 21:4:5
So sorry to hear this. Took care of him when I was doing home health. Condolances to the family!
DONNA IM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS…I AM SENDING MY PRAYERS N THOUGHTS WITH LOVE AND HUGS MY DEAR FRIEND…MAY GOD GIVE YOU ALL COMFORT AND PEACE NOW AND IN THE DAYS TO COME…
Our thoughts and Prayers are with you all Sorry for your loss
Deepest sympathy to the McCormick family. I worked with him from 1965 to about 1977 and he was one of the best men I ever worked with. Richard Thurmond
