Lyle it’s never easy to have a parent pass away.  Your Mother lived a long life of service to her family and the people in her prayerful life.  She was always smiling.  Happy and kind.  My Mother spoke with your Mother when you walked past my house to Enos school.   I have always enjoyed you and I hope to see you when you are in town .  Peace be with you.  She is now holding your Son’s hand as she did yours.   Linda Slagle Dufner

Dan and family I am so sorry that your beautiful mother has passed away.  I remember her walking with you boys on your way to Enos School.   I walked with you sometimes.  Your Mother was an interesting lady with her painted photos.  I was always glad to see your face in the crowded schools we attended.  Peace of our Lord Jesus be with you as you reflect on your mother and your life as a child holding your Mother’s hand.

Dear Grover Family,

On behalf of the Eritrean and Ethiopian communities in Springfield, Illinois, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies on the passing of our beloved sister/mother in Christ, Darlene Grover. We were all deeply saddened by this news.

Darlene was a pillar of our community, a true woman of faith whose devotion to God was a light for all who knew her. Her gentle spirit, unwavering kindness, and steadfast prayers were a constant source of comfort and strength. For many, she was a loving friend and mentor who embodied Christ's love in her every action.

Darling was truly a Godly woman and a dear friend to the Eritrean and Ethiopian Community in Springfield, Illinois. Darlene and her late husband Lyle Grover were real friends to our community and, in doing so, enriched all of our lives beyond measure. We will forever cherish her memory and the beautiful legacy of faith she leaves behind.

My family and I have been close friends with the Grover Family for over 30 amazing years.

In moments like these, we find solace in the promise of eternal life and the knowledge that she is now at peace in the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father. While we grieve her absence on Earth, we rejoice that her pain is gone and that her faithful soul has soared to heaven.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything at all.

With deepest sympathy and in Christ's love,

Ashegdom and Family on behalf of Eritrean and Ethiopian community in Springfield, Illinois.

Dear brother David and Family,

I was saddened to hear of the passing of your mother, Mrs. Darlene, Grover. I will always cherish the kindness she showed me when I stayed at your home during Bible school. One memory that will never leave me is how, every morning before breakfast, she would prepare a passage from the Word of God and read it to me. Her love for the Lord and her devotion to sharing His Word made a lasting impression on my life.

I also fondly remember your father, Brother Grover, and the kindness he showed me during that time. Together, they lived out their faith in such a genuine way, and I thank God for the influence they both had on my journey.

Please know that I am praying for you and your family. May the Lord comfort you with His peace and strengthen you with the hope we have in Christ. Your parents’ faith and love will continue to shine through the lives they touched.

With heartfelt sympathy,
Pastor Tadesse Atsebeha 
Apostolic Church International of Los Angeles
