Phyllis Augsburger says
I wasn’t around a lot to know Bob well,but I remember the Fairfield family always spoke very highly of him and felt Doris Jean had made a wise choice. Our sympathy!
T. Smith says
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. At times like this the pain felt can be overwhelming. Notice the comfort the bible holds out for your family at this time. Isaiah 25:8 Promises “He will swallow up (or do away with) death forever. And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces…” Can you imagine a world without death? What a wonderful promise to contemplate, and help you endure during these hard times.
Sincerely,
Sandra Townsend says
Dan, Lynn and family – My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you walk through this time in your life. I’m here if you need anything and love you all very, very much!
