May you find some comfort and strength from the reading of God''s words:
(John 11:25) Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life;
(Revelation 21:4, 5) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” 5 And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also, he says: “Write, because these words are faithful and true.”
With sympathy,
D.R. Miller

Dear Betsy & Cassie;
I just learned of Junie''s passing. I am so very sorry, and my heart goes out to you. I lost my husband, Lloyd, in November after being together almost 32 years. I know the pain and sadness you are going through. It takes time, and don''t let anyone rush you through it. Take one day at a time, and only do what you think you can, and build on that. Junie loved you both so much, and he would want you and Cassie to find happiness. He will always be there with you. Finish the things he left undone that were important to you and him. It will be very difficult at first. What you cannot do for yourself, do for him. If there is anything you need, or if you want someone to talk to that shares and understands the grief of loosing a husband after so many happy years together, let me know. I know Junie is with his Dad, Dean, Grandmom and Grandpop Holthaus, and all his dear relatives that have gone before him. Please make sure you put your own health first now. You should make it a priority, and eat even when you can''t. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Junie was loved by everyone.
Love, Millie McNutt
