, TX Sunday, February 26, 2017 I am so sorry for your lose. It is my hope that the many beautiful memories help with the families's grief . Comfort can also be found in the loving words of hope at Revelation 21:4 where there is a promise that says : " He will wipe out very tear from their eyes, and death will be no more , neither will mourning nor pain be anymore . "Jean Schneiderman
Murray, KY Saturday, February 25, 2017 I remember Aunt Ardyce as always happy and sweet. I remember visiting Uncle Edgar and her on their farm and fond memories playing with my cousins. Carlene and I visited her a few years back and had such a nice visit with her. She showed us pictures of our cousins and her grandchildren. I'm sorry I won't be able to make the trip from Kentucky to visit with everyone. God bless.David Legband
