We honor you mom and dad for all your years of dedication and love you gave to your marriage, and all you gave to us. Your love for each other was like no other. Thank you for giving your lives to Christ. For teaching us the promise God gives to everyone if we accept the invitation. We can only imagine what it is like as you are reunited together to live in eternity and experience nothing but peace, love and joy.
