Deepest sympathy to the entire Lockwood family. We have such fond memories of both Dale and Dorothy. We will be praying for all of you.

Sally and George Oyer

On behalf of the Germain family, we wish to offer our thoughts for Dorothys family at this sad time. We remember with great fondness our Mother's sister, of her visits to Wales with Dale and members of her family, and of her kind hospitality when the Welsh clan visited Ohio.
We have a treasured photograph of the three Pain girls, Irene, Dorothy and Betty on a visit to Canada some years ago, happy again in each others company.

I remember your beautiful wedding day and always admired you and your beautiful family. Your memory will live through them. May your soul rest in the peace of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Our prayers are with you and your family now as they learn to deal with this temporay separation. May God bless you and your family, now and forever.

Barb an Family, Sorry that we can't be with you at this time.Thinking of you all and sending our prays.

Your gone but will never be forgotten. I love you so much. I miss you more than you know. People say the hurt will always be there and you learn to live with it.

I wanted to get this on here before they take it down. Your all in my prayers each and every day. Love your favorite sister.

Brent & Kimberly Wright & family

Brother!
I have once again and as always waited too late to tell you how I felt.
Brothers we have always been. Respect for each other we have always had. Common interests we always shared.
I will never forget the two worst *** whippings I got as a kid can be connected directly to you. Because of these events I will never forget you. Both of these *** whippings also happen to be two of the most important things that influenced and helped make me in to the man I am today. There is nothing nobler or more brotherly of a thing that a big brother could have done than that.
Thank You Bro!!

All of us down here in Venice feel bad about the passing of "The Big Teddy Bear"..R.I.P. Steve..you will be missed..

I was on my way out of the country for a week when the obit appeared, so I am only now learning of Steve's passing. We were in some of the same classes at Central and Lima Senior. Only in the past three years did we exchange messages on Facebook. Last year before he got sick, we chatted briefly on webcam, mostly to try the technology but also to renew friendship ties. I enjoyed Steve's comments on Facebook; he will be missed.

My sincerest sympathy to Steven's family and friends. We didn't know each other for a long period of time but when we did talk I found Steven to be a very compassionate man, he would drive his friends for chemo therapy, take care of his Mom, loved to be with Aiden. Oh, how he loved that child and got so excited when he took him fishing.. I can't forget his Sheba either. That was his "little lady kitty". This is all what I remember about this Big Hearted Kind man named Steven Frobase. I will miss you my friend.
I know you are at peace now Steven...........Even better I know one day I will see you again.
I am praying for comfort for the whole Frobase family.

Condolences to the family. Remember Steve from school as a stand-up guy. We will be praying for you in this hard time. Charles and Carole Cheuvront

Although I didn't know you all that well, Steven, you seemed like a really caring, compassionate man. I enjoyed our few meetings. Your affection for little Aiden was evident and endearing. Look forward to seeing you again in heaven, Steven. :-) Ya did good my friend!
My condolences to Stevens family in your loss.

While going through the photos I recently absorbed from my mother's home, I came across one of Steve, Mike Ferguson, Brian, and my brother Jeff, which of course brought back the growing up years on Charles Street and the various families involved in that time period and the hi-jnks that occurred. So on behalf of myself and husband, Mike, I would just like to offer our sincere condolences on Steve's passing. Our prayers are with you.

Prayers to family and friends for your loss.

Sincere condolences from the Tudor Family
Will, Jo, and Michael Tudor
Condolences to Debra's Son/Mitch's grandson.

Denise, my thought and prayers are with you in this time of grief. May out Heavenly Father hold you close and comfort you as only He can. Enjoy memories they will always keep your Dad close.

Love Vicki

Relationship: Special friend.... That just doesn't say it, does it Florence? You were more like an Aunt; a beloved, trusted advisor. You were such a huge part of my life especially when I was growing up. My home is filled with memories of you... books, books, more books, my love of books. Many were discards from the library systems you and Mary worked in and are still alive and loved on my shelves. You never missed a birthday. You never missed sending a postcard from your travels. I've always said that I was like Princess Aurora in that I had three fairy Godmothers granted to me at birth; Florence, Mary, & Velma. Every child should have at least one like mine to guide her, love her unconditionally, hug her even when her parents are ready to send her to Juvenile Detention (not that it ever happened to me.... lol), make her think that she's the most special girl in the world. You did your job well Florence! Thank you! I was so blessed to have you in my life!

Love, Mary Louise

Always enjoyed our talks at gatherings, Florence was always ready to engage in a conversation on just about any subject.

Many fond memories of Florence, Mary,and their staff at Southern Adirondack Library System.

I met Florence Harshe many years ago when I was starting out as a librarian. She certainly was an inspiration to so many of us in the field. Those of us who knew her in this area (Sourthern Adirondack library System) appreciate her lifelong service to libraries and librarianship.
Her family and friends can be comforted by the life she lived.

I know Florence as the neighboring System Director, when I was the Director of the Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System. She was a sharp and sharing library director. We had many meetings together, especially working in Albany to try to increase support for libraries in the State Legislature.
In Saratoga her delight was to meet friends for breakfast at the Track and watch the grooms exercise the horses.
She will be greatly missed.
Stan Ransom

To a lady that was a moral compass and source of hope and dreams to a girl in a small town. She brought us dreams of living large and travels to faraway places. She dared to try new things and go new places. She never missed a birthday and spent every Christmas with her parents in Ohio. That included me. She always had great stories of her ventures. She would give me keepsakes she had associated with me from my childhood as I grew up along with the story she remembered so fondly associated with it. I remember one story she told, of when I was about 4 years old and she came to visit and was sleeping in our room on the second floor. She had come in the night and my sister and I were so excited that she had come that we climbed out a window out on to the room and crawled over to her window and when she awoke two little faces were grinning at her from outside her window. She was terrified for our safety and started calling for our mother. We just could not wait to see Aunt Florence. So what if it was cold outside or on the second floor.

Sherrill and family,

I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your lovely daughter, Nichole. Please know that I am keeping you in my thoughts and in my prayers. May God give you peace and rest during this time and in the times to come.

Judy Wiggs

My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Sherrill, Tim, Jared and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Nikki's passing. I know how much she will be missed. I just wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Sherrill,
Please accept our sincere sympathy regarding Nichole's passing. I have such fond memories of Nichole and her classmates. It's hard to believe that 35 years have passed. I still think of her as a beautiful child. May you find comfort in knowing that she is with her Heavenly Father.
Sally and George Oyer

Kelli and family I was so shocked to hear of Lindas passing I just found out within the last week. She was such a good woman we shared many fun times doing childrens programs at New Hampshire United Methodist Church and we spent several awesome 4th of Julys with her, Bill and Donelda at the Lake. We moved to Georgia last year and one of the last days I lived in Waynesfield she stopped by hugged me and told me good bye. I never dreamed it would be the last time we spoke. My heart goes out to you all. Kelli I would love to hear from you please contact me on Facebook I am under Sue Wells Sidener. Linda always had a smile and kind word. Much love to you all she was so proud of her kids and grandkids.

Sue Sidener

I am another Linda (Walmart has a bunch of us).
Your mom was always ready with a smile and encouragement.
I liked watching her and Donelda's friendship; they were fun together and like Donelda..... Linda was a force to be reckoned with.
God bless you all as your grieve and remember.
Life is a wonderful gift and we need to always appreciate those we love and tell them so.
I saw Linda do this with kelly and I know she felt the same about her boys.
I am sorry for your loss.

Kelli and Family,
I am sorry I was not able to make it to the viewing. I worked at WG as a sub and got to know Linda there. She was always very helpful. She was also a friendly face at Wal-Mart and any other place I happend to run into her. I am very sorry to hear of her passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Tim & Martha Manchester

To the family of Linda,
Our deepest sympathy in your loss of a wonderful lady.

RIP Linda you are greatly missed.

LARRY & BRAD, I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR MOM. I WISH I COULD BE THERE TONIGHT AT THE VIEWING, BUT I HAVE A PRIOR COMMITMENT AND CANNOT ATTEND. MY HEART AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU. I JUST WANTED BOTH OF YOU TO KNOW THAT YOUR MOTHER WAS A GREAT PERSON AND I ALWAYS ENJOYED OUR TALKS WHEN WE WOULD RUN INTO ONE ANOTHER. SHE WILL BE MISSED. I WILL BE THINKING OF YOU IN THE DAYS TO COME, AND IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, PLEASE DO NOT BE AFRAID TO CALL (419) 231-4844 OR EMAIL ME. GOD BE WITH YOU ALL.

Sherri,

My memory of your father is limited since you were not living at home when we became acquainted. Unfortunately I didn't get the privilege to be around your father very often. I do recall how fondly you spoke of him with great love and respect. I'm sure you will miss him greatly.

With love,
Brendala

To Joan, Sherri and David and Kristin, and Kenny's siblings and their families: We shall always fondly remember our contacts with Kenny as a good and decent man who stood faithfully by his family... pleasant, honorable, and humble. We share your loss but know now Kenny is at perfect rest and peace with the Lord.

Kenny was a good man and will be missed by many!
If you need ANYTHING, please let us know!
Love,
Linda, Jim and Family

We extend our sincere condolences to Sherri and her family following Kenny's passing. May the Lord provide the necessary comfort and strength to experience His peace-which you all richly deserve.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. May the many years of memories you have built up bring you smiles and peace until you are together again.

Jim and Family


So sorry to hear about your wife. I remember you telling me what a rough time she was having. Wow, 50 years!! that is rare. She had quite a job dealing with Jimmy all these years. Think about all the good memories and try to forget the months she was sick.

Buzz Neiswander

Beth was such a kind soul and a wonderful family friend. She was so giving and would do anything for anyone including us West/Lucas/Lightle kids. We will miss her very much. My deepest condolences to Jim, Steve, and the entire Sproul family.

We'd like to extend our Sympathy to Jim Sproul & the entire Sproul Family.

At a time like this, words are so inadequate. Expressing deepest sympathy at the loss of your wife, mother, grandmother, sister and daughter-in-law. Praying that God will wrap His arms of love around each one of you in the days ahead and that you will feel His Love for you.

Joe and I were so shocked to hear of your passing. May you rest in peace good friend. We love you and will miss you.

As a little girl Uncle Larry would always call us girls by pet names.. Baby- Doll, sweetie, babe.. It always made me feel special. He always gave the best Christmas presents too. Like Gold Dollars, big boxes of chocolate and the greatest of all- lottery tickets. All the kids always looked forward to him coming because he had the good stuff. His smile was infectious and he was and will always be, very loved- and truly missed.

With deepest sympathy on the loss of your Dad. Let God's deep love and understanding help you all as you grieve his passing and let each new day give you blessed memories to cherish forever. All our love and prayers, Ruanna & Ron

I am so sorry for your loss, and it is a great loss to us also. It has been hard since dad passed, but I can't help but imagine dad and Charley cooking up schemes in Heaven and having a grand old time. Uncle Charley, you were a friend and one of the nicest people we knew. Rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear about Janice. My thoughts and prayers to all her family. I first met Janice in 1964 when I became friends with the Boop family. I know she will be truly missed as she had so many friends and family that loved being around her. RIP my friend.

Our prayers and sincere condolences go out to the entire family.

Ed was the first farmer I ever knew, him and Marilyn were the kindest people on earth. We went there as kids, we were from the big city of Findlay. I recall Jim, Janelle, Joe and Sally having incredible patience with us city folk, we had lots of questions and didn't know our way around a farm at all. We always got a tour of the tractors, barn, assorted animals and thought the farm was just a cool place. In 2010 my mom (Marilyn) and I made a trip to Lima to tour places she used to live and go to school, we stopped in to see Ed, he hadn't changed a bit and remembered me. We had a great conversation, it was fascinating to be sitting in the living room I had not been in since I was a young kid. Sorry for your loss.

I am so grateful for all the many memories spent with Dad and Mom. We went to Utah one year and visted an historical native dwelling. We had to climb a very vertical ladder. Mom was game so Dad stood below her and boosted her up the ladder so she could enjoy the entire site. During the same vacation, our tour pontoon boat broke down on Lake Powell. The ride back was one laugh after the other as now we were in a speed boat, which Dad loved, and Mom did too--in between the tipsy stomach she often had.
Mom & Dad visited the Black Hills every year. Dad's last visit was for Father's Day, 2012. We arranged a special helicopter ride over the Hills which he thoroughly enjoyed. We also hiked to Spearfish Falls which he hadn't seen before. He surprised us by hiking the steep descent and ascent back to the car with very little assistance.
These are just a couple of precious memories of many memories. Mostly I am grateful for the values that Dad lived by example in his work ethic, community involvement, and commitment to family.
I miss the early morning phone calls!!! He was the only one who called that early in the morning, knowing that we are early risers. Of course, EVERY call included a weather report!!! And always, I love you, to conclude the call.
I miss Dad greatly, but look forward to the wonderful reunion we will have in Heaven some day!!!

I look back and remember the times I helped him bale hay, combine wheat and bale straw. Ed, my dad George Schooler, my brother Wally and myself along with Uncle Charley Schooler seemed to work together as a good crew.
I will always have good memerios growing and working with Ed..
Ron Schooler

Will love and cherish the memories!!

Love you PoPo!!

I am sitting here crying, missing the man that I always loved spending time with. I will never be able to replace you, and will never try. PoPo, you meant the world to me. The day I left for this tour, I will never forget you telling me to put a capital P on Patience. I am so thankful to have had a Grandpa like you. Sitting on your lap eating popcorn when I was young, to sitting out on the backporch while you smoked your cigarette, I loved every second I got to spend with you. I am so thankful for the REALationship that we had! We always had the best of time, telling jokes, and I have to admit, some of them I just laughed to let you think that Readers Digest had the best ones, but I just enjoyed hearing you tell your stories.

I am so thankful for the way you loved my wife and my children. You were the best grandpa that I could have ever asked for and for that I pray that my words will bring justice to the man that you were. Please tell Grandma to sing the victory song cause Jesus wins every time!

You are missed! I am so thankful for the time we got to spend together in your last days, but it went by so fast!

I love you!

I will always cherish the weekend I spent on the farm with Uncle Ed and my Popo while I was in college. We spent most of the time sitting in the screened in porch talking and laughing. It was wonderful to see the farm and spend that time together. Uncle Ed will surely be missed, but I know he's happy in heaven with Aunt Marilyn and the rest of his family. I send prayers and love to all who are grieving.
Love,
Meaghan Davis

My grandmother was an amazing person. I miss her and my grandfather so very much. My best memories were playing cards till 3 in the morning, and then being back down at their house for breakfast. Grandma always had the best laugh, advice, and smile . Grandma and Grandpa will always be in my heart.

Aunt Mary will forevermore be in my heart. The fond memories of visiting the farm and the kindness Aunt Mary always bestowed upon us. I will never forget when I was pregnant and on bed rest, Aunt Mary and Uncle Al came to visit me and Aunt Mary made a quilt for my son. I have that quilt today. Its been 22 years since the day she gave it to me.

Sending my love and prayers to my cousins whose mother and father will alwayas have a special place in my heart.

Love
Becky C Strukamp

To John and family,
Please accept my condolences for your loss.
I know your mother will be very missed and remembered for many good deeds and times.
I still remember the one Christmas that Mary and Al received that little yellow airplane containing tickets for Hawaii. When they returned with all the fresh fruit, we made juice and sat around listening to all the talk of the fun they had on their trip. Those are certainly good times to remember. And some of the freshest fruit I had ever. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. May God Bless You!

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated Mary. My Mother and her were at the nursing home at the same time. They became good friends and I know it helped my mother. My mother was Sharon Metz, she past in 2011. Also my late husband (John) and I have been friends with John for a long time. My sympathies to all. God Bless, Lisa Van Horn

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. Mary was so very, very special. She will missed so very much by so very many.

Dear Cousins:

Mom (Aunt Patti), Linda & I send our deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear mother. While Linda and I grew up on the west coast, away from family, we greatly enjoyed the trips to Ohio to spend time with our Aunts, Uncles & Cousins. I have fond memories of time spent with Aunt Mary- her great cooking, smile and laugh, and very practical advice!

Aunt Mary was a favorite our our dad, her brother Leo. He would tell us stories of them growing up and she was usually getting into some mischief which would make him laugh.

We know the Fleming Clan are now celebrating in heaven as they are all together once again in peace and love. We are thankful that she was a part of our lives.

Love,
Catherine Fleming Yamauchi, Linda Fleming Planque & Aunt Patti Fleming

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Mary & Al Jolly. Mary was such an awesome friend of my Mother & Father Cecelia & Cyril Vorst. But not only were they friends with my parents but also with my in-laws Ottie & Millie Beining. Ottie & Millie said they had such fond memories when they went with Mom & Dad to visit your Mom & Dad at their home in Florida. Never a dull moment. Ottie is presently in the hospital now so have been spending time with him.

Mary has made such wonderful keepsakes for both couples. So very crafty and our families will cherish them for years to come.

I am sure your parents & Cy & Cecelia are having a great time together again. Mom just past away 1-03-13. They are all at a better place now.

Much Love to your family.

Our deepest sympathy on the lost of your beautiful and most gracious mom. Love & happiness are our memories of the times shared with both your mom & dad. I am a daughter of Cy & Cecilia Vorst. Our family were totally blessed to be their friends. Love & Prayers to All, Pat & Dan McConnell

To the Family, Please accept my condolances for your loss. I personally did not know Mary, but being the District II Director of Soroptimist International of Midwestern Region, I felt a sisterhood when I read of her passing. I would hope that at some point our lives had crossed and I have a strong feeling she was a sincere loving person.

What a very Special Lady in Heaven now. Until we meet again Aunt Mary. Love you, Gina Hilf-Plummer

I went to school with Joan and knew her other children. I remember going into Jolly's Sewing Center and getting my first Singer machine, which I still have. I loved that place and have many good memories of Al and Mary. Sad to see her gone from this earth.

How very much I loved her, Mary and my Dad her brother were very close, I loved seeing the two of them together laughing and teasing each other.

But what I loved the most as a child growing up was going to; as dad would say, to Mary and Al's. It was always great to see my cousins eat laugh and play. Mary had a great laugh and was always there for me after my mother died when I was teenager.

I shall miss her deeply, but I know she is now reunited with her beloved Al. May God put a circle of protection around the family in this time of loss.

I shall remember her when the wind blows,
I shall remember her when the snow falls
I shall remember her when the sun rises
I shall remember her, I shall remember her.

Love,
Grant C. Fleming

Vince and Joan and family;
I am so sorry for the loss of Mary. She was such a sweet lady. I remember the laughing and fun times with your mom and dad, and friends like Dick and Irma and all the others. We really missed everyone when we moved away, we never had friends like all of you after that. She will be truly missed. May God give comfort to you and your family at this sad time.

Vince and family Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of great loss. I loved talking patterns and the such with Mary and she will be missed. Gods blessing on you and yours. Rae (Pogue) Rostorfer and son.

Sorry for your loss.You are all in my prayers. Love to you all.
Ann Shoup

My heart aches for what you are going through this month. Know that I'm praying for peace for you and your family as you walk through this valley.

So very sorry to hear of this second loss for your family. Walt and Erma were both wonderful friends to my mom and dad. They enjoyed each other and enjoyed life. I will always remember Walt's hardy laugh. May the Lord comfort you all through this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear about Ray's passing. One of my fondest memories is when he came to Big Rapids to visit our family around 1970. He had a big red Kenworth (I think). I had never seen the inside of a rig like that before. I also remember Ray as a great story teller and always being upbeat and cheerful. He will be missed by all who knew him.

My condolences go out to Ray's six children and his siblings.

I was so sad to hear of Ray's passing. I remember Ray as a big guy with a big heart. The class of "63 will be left with many fond memories of him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.
Anita Yale Williamson

My condolences on the passing of Ray- and especialy to his brother Bill.
Ray was a classmate and I know he wanted to be present at the 50th reunion in June. He will certainly be there in spirit..

Ray was always the biggest and strongest kid in class and during high school probably the biggest and strongest in school.

Ray was an excellent football player and for a few games a member of the mean 15 and then 13 which was the total number of players we had for a few games.

Ray was an outstanding discuss/shoputter in track. He qualified for the state meet in Columbus in the shot.

My sincere condolences.

Guy

May he Rest in Peace....We are praying for the family....So sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry to hear of Ray's passing. He was a very polite and kind person. He always had a smile on his face. So glad I was able to see him at Pam & Bill's Wedding Anniversary. My sympathy and prayers are with the family.

So Sorry for your loss. Howard was a great man that will surely be missed.

May you rest in peace. All your pain & suffering gone. Hope that you will be reunited with loved ones.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.......


Leslie Querry-Huber

What a sweet and gentle lady she was. Larry got to know her and Bud while he was their mail carrier and we became friends. Always caring and generous to others especially little children was easily seen by all. They never missed having a treat for our grand daughter on all holidays. We missed them both when they moved to Sarasota but knew it was best for them to be closer to their family.
Miss you.

Praying for you and keeping you on my mind..Thanks for the memories...

may god welcome you with open arms and reunite you with grandpa, aunt mary and uncle dicky

Uncle John was a quiet, soft spoken man of few words, had a heart of gold, and helped everyone out that needed help. Went out of his way to make you feel comfortable and welcome. Him and his family would go without to help those within the family get what they needed whether it was medicine, food or clothes. A very caring man who will be missed greatly by everyone who knew what a special person he was.

Love
Susan

Perhaps my favorite memory of John is when he told a doctor he had three children: his son Jason; daughter Marcy; and he thought of me as a son.

I love you, John. I know God has welcomed you with His arms wide open and much rejoicing in Heaven.

God Bless you all in this difficult time. My love to you all.

John will be missed by everyone who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with Kathy and children.

Our hearts go out to the entire Horvath family, we are so sorry for your loss. May the Lord cradle you in his mercy and receive you with peace and happiness. May the Lord also comfort and heal those who you left behind till you meet them again. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

Marcy , I am so sorry . Please know that I care.......I have no words to make you feel better . Just know I am always around to take too ......To your family I am so sorry for the battle you are faceing . As I know this fight ........May My angel watch over your Marcy . May a blessing come your way Marcy . Your Friend Sandy

Love and miss you Glenda!You were a special soul.

You never said you're leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That nobody could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

My sweet Aunt Glenda, you and I shared a very special bond and closeness and knew one another so well. You were so much fun and I always wished we could have lived closer and hung out together. I miss our talks so much. It doesn't seem real that you're gone. I miss you and will always love you!!

I miss you sweet sissy with all my heart and soul. Until we meet again " I hope you are traveling on your "Yellow Brick Road"

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Your time on earth seemed all too brief
Because I wanted you in my life forever.
And although I really miss you,
In my heart I know that you are at peace.
Still, countless times throughout the day
I find myself remembering you.
Although I cannot see or hear you,
I know that you are with me.
I'll feel you in the warmth of the summer sun.
I'll see you in the brilliance of autumn leaves.
You'll be beside me in the peacefulness
Of a gentle snowfall
And rejoice with me at the emergence
Of the first flowers of spring.
I'm thankful for the times we shared
And the priceless memories too;
For those memories are a comfort now
When I lovingly remember you.

I'm missing you so much, my dear sister, but am praising the Lord that you're in Heaven now where there's no pain or suffering. I don't worry about you, as I know you're rejoicing and praising the Lord with Mom, Dad and our dear Brother and I long for that wonderful day when we will all be reunited once again! “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:1-3

I love you Aunt Glenda, I thought you were fun and awesome.

Sorry to hear of your mother's death. Many fond memories from my youth. Peter Linneman

Kevin,
The computer/me put in the wrong state, it should be Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
Jeff Fett

To Kevin Vermillion and the Vermillion Family:
I was sorry to read about the passing of your mom. I know it has been a while since I've seen you but still think of all the good times we had when we were younger. I pass your parents house as I leave Lima when I am home visiting my mom. I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you and your family in this time of sorrow. Please let my condolences be known to your family and again sorry for the passing of your mother.
Jeff Fett

Love & prayers sent your way~ hoping Mary will meet you at the pearly gates ~

KEEP YOU AND FAMILY IN THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

Azuba will always have a very special place in my heart. She was my son's nursery school teacher for 3 years and ,after that, a dear friend. Azuba's special gift of kindness and gentleness had a positive affect on so many of her young students. Her memory will always bring a smile to my family. My condolences to her loved ones.

Mrs. Meffley was my pre-kindergarten teacher for 3 years at Shawnee United Methodist (1982-1984). As a current educator, I am aware that is a rare relationship where a student remains in contact beyond the "school year" with a teacher. Mrs. Meffley not only remained a part of my memory of childhod, but served as an inspiration as I continued on to higher ed. and became a teacher myself. When I think of Mrs. Meffley, I think of her smiling face, pretty white hair, and gentle disposition on any given day. The lasting impression she left upon the countless students she touched will last far into the future, and I am proud to have known her.
Prayers with your family-

Brooke Burden Menduni

I am at a loss for words to say exactly what Mrs. Meffley meant to me as a teacher. More than 3 decades later I am still overwhelmed with warm thoughts when I hear her name. She will always be in my heart, one of those special people that influenced the better parts of my character.

Mother Meffley was the most special teacher in the world and she will be missed by so many whose young hearts she touched!

I had Mrs. Meffley for 4 year old Nursery School. I don't have many memories from that age, but Mrs. Meffley is a warm fuzzy one :) Always so kind and caring! I always loved running into her around town, she never changed, always a kind and wonderful person. I'm truely blessed to have had her in my life.

We'd to extend our Sympathy to the entire Wolfe Family. Former Cridersville residents ....... Jim & Sharon Crouse

There are certain people who have a wonderful ability relate to others in a way that easily bridges generations. Mrs. Meffley was one.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to meet her recently. She made me feel comfortable immediately. Her warmth, clear memory and ability to converse intelligently on any subject were impressive, especially in light of her illness.

My thoughts have been with her family this week. I hope they are comforted by the good memories they must have and the knowledge that Mrs. Meffley was a positive and memorable influence in many lives.

So sorry to hear of your loss. although I didn't know Azuba well, Dad (John Meffley) spoke of her often and had great stories to tell. God bless you.

We were blessed to have Azuba in our lives. She was such a wonderful teacher to our 3 daughters in their preschool years. I have always said that there aren't many preschool teachers that are invited to high school graduation parties, but that is what an influence she had on so many Shawnee families. She was a staple at these celebrations.She wasn't just a friend - she was family! As we look at our handprint plaques, and take out our homemade Nativity sets made from Tide boxes with the lump of clay Baby Jesus, we will never forget her. We loved her so and will miss her smiling face. Thank you, Mrs. Meffley. Prayers for you, Sue and family.

I am so honored to have met Azuba. What a wonderful and sweet woman. My prayers are with you all.

My mother, Charlotte Sweeney, told me about Mrs. Meffley's passing, and I want to express my condolences to her family. I recall her kindness and patience as her home was filled to the brim, literally wall to wall, with young girls learning to sew in the 4-H club she sponsored. I was in grade school and junior high with Becky, and fondly remember sleep overs in the basement, also packed with giggling girls! I know I am one of many girls whose lives she touched and enriched by generously opening her home to us. May God's comfort and peace surround her loved ones - Carol Sweeney Monahan

Aunt Erma will be deeply missed. She was a generous, kind, and loving woman. I have many fond memories of working with her at LMH and of all of our family get togethers. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My sympathies to your family. I worked with Erma years ago @ Lima Memorial Hospital. She was a great co-worker & a genuinely nice person. I'm sure she will be greatly missed.

We are so sorry for your loss. Erma is such a sweet and warm lady. My mom loved her dearly. She was always a great friend to her. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

You were a sweet soul Erma who took great care of your family. Rest in peace!

On behalf of all the residents and staff of Cridersville Healthcare, our hearts go out to you and your family. We will all miss our "Miss Mary" with her smiles, laughter and quirky sense of humor. We will also miss Jimmy who came every morning for coffee with Mom. She was a special lady and we all feel the loss. May God bless all of you.

I want Mary's family to know that I truly loved my Miss Mary and I am going to miss her!!!! I remember the first morning I walked into her room to introduce myself to her..WOW..was awesome..I knew right then and there that she was going to be one of my favs!!! I feel truly blessed to have been able to take care of Mary and to get to know each of you. My heart is with you all! Aimee Eaton

Mike and Marilyn,
I am so sorry for your loss. Norman always talked about your Mom. May God wrap his loving arms around you. She's now in Heaven with our Mom, looking down upon us.

I will forever miss you in my life. I can't imagine not ever seeing you again. Till we meet again on the other side.

Dear Miss Peg,
Im sad that I wont get to see your smiling face anymore and enjoy your company, but Im also happy your with your loved ones in Heaven and that you are finally at peace. You will be greatly missed by so many peoples lives that you have touched. Im honored to have known and loved you. I will miss you dearly, but I have some wonderful memories of you to cherish within my heart always.
Marilyn, you and the family have my deepest sympathy and may God comfort you in your time of need.

Love, Marcia

Greg, Jeff, Linda, Marilyn and Andrea; Just a note to tell you all that I remember your Mom as a most friendly and an extremely nice person. Same for your Dad, whom I taught with for some years. His sense of humor kept a lot of us going during some very tough years. Both are missed. My best to all of you. Bill

I feel like a big part of me is missing. Ripped away from me so sudden. Grandpa and I shared so much together and the stories we have shared will forever be locked inside my heart. So many amazing, happy, and tearful memories shared together. Happy and loving memories with grandma and grandpa at there house... picnics on the deck, sitting outback in the summer and just talking, birthday parties, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, new years, and so much more. Every memory is cherished and will live on. I miss you so much grandpa. You spoiled all your grandchildren and great grandchildren to the fullest! I know your watching over us all and checking on us. You were the best grandpa anyone could ever have. I love you so much..

I am so sorry, Ollie was such a wonderful man. Your family is in my prayers.

Petie

We always sat with Ollie and Shirley and viewed the parade in Cridersville in July. We could count on him saving us room in the shade. Since our daughter, Lori, is his daughter in law, we had some good times during birthday parties, etc. He was a special person!

Grandpa was such a great man! I enjoyed every minute I spent with him, he will be forever missed, I will give anything just to hug him one more time!!!

LOVE YOU SO MUCH GRANDPA!!!

My thought and prayers go out to Shirley and all the family on Ollie's passing. He always had a smile on his face and funny phrase to say. Ollie always acted like he was in charge, then Shirley would quickly straighten him out, as everyone knew "SHE" was the boss. I consider myself lucky to have known Ollie.

Revelation 21:4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

My heart goes out to the family at this time for their loss.

Ollie always had a kind word and smile for everyone.
I always enjoyed their visiting us when we came home.

Our love and prayers are with you all.
Matthew 5:4
In His Love,
Daniel and Nancy Phipps

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Our condolences, Jerry, scot, and steve rhinock.

My prayers are with you. Rick, your father was a great man, I enjoyed talking to him, having a beer with him and Bobby at the Moose. Your dad will be missed and I know your mom was glad to see him again in heaven. He was a very special man.

So very sorry for your loss. I just loved your dad he was so funny, He did just what he wanted to do and nothing more...It was always a pleasure to see him come in the Doctors office..he is now resting with the lord, May God be with you in your time of grief..
Shelly

So sorry for your loss. He was a nice man, and I'm sure you will miss him.

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of your father and father-in-law. May you remember the wonderful moments and memories with joy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

In Jesus Christ Love,
Scott and Brendala

How sad we are to learn of your Dad's passing away just recently. He was my best friend in High School and my Best Man at my wedding. A really wonderful guy and friend. We lost touch with each other over the years but thought of him often. My prayers and thoughts are with all you.

Our deepest sympathy to the Murphy family.
Mark and Brenda Volkert

Joe Michele and Family:

Sorry to hear of the passing of Roy. I have good memories of the first time I met him and then seeing him at baptism services in years to follow. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you celebrate his life at the funeral. May you feel God's embrace of comfort in the weeks to come.

Warmly Dave Buettner

We are sorry to hear of your step-father's passing. We did not know this at church today. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

I will always remember Roy's kindness and his gentle humor. He had a real gift for storytelling. I will miss him so much at the H.I.S. Home reunion this year but I know he will be there in spirit. I am also confident that God will reward Roy for all his years of service and selflessness for others. I am praying for your whole family.

I was sorry to read Don has left his earthly family but I know he's enjoying the Heavenly family now. What a great person to know and be around. His love for our heavenly Father is an inspiration. I look forward to catching up with him some day and hearing all about his mansion. Selah

Miss you! Sorry I wasen't there for you!!

So sorry to hear about Ralph's passing. He was my cousin but I hadn't seen him for years. His Dad Roy & my Dad, Earnest (Dutch) Lahrmer were half brothers. I thought a lot of his Dad & he raised a good bunch of kids. It is sad that you lose track of people when they move away but I still think of them. Condolences to Lloyd, Mary & Helen.

One of the nicest people I have known. Sorry to hear of her passing.

Debbie and siblings,
I am so sorry in the passing of your mom. I am in Phoenix, AZ in business meetings and unable to be home. I thought the world of your mom and certainly realize that you have suffered a great loss. Love you

So sorry to read of Edie's passing. We have a lot of good memories & hope God will comfort all of you now & always.

Edie was always a Lady, and loved by all who knew her. Her passing will leave a a a huge empty space in those that loved her.

I knew Edie through my late Grandfather (Ray Barber). She was a big part of the family for a couple years while I was growing up and I will always have fond memories of her. She was a kind and caring lady. Condolences to the family.

I remember Aunt Edith playing scrabble with my Grandma Jeanneret. (Gladys-Mark Jeannert's wife) Aunt Edith and Grandma were married to brothers and lived close enough to share many wonderful hours together. Aunt Edith was so beautiful, always sparkling and shining. She will be missed. God bless my extended family with comfort during this painful time. Love Janis Jeanneret

I remember riding the bus with Marsha and Rene in the 60's. Dustin and Becky Jeanneret are my great niece and nephew through Penny Metzger Kinninger. May God Bless the family at this time

Auntie Edith..enjoyed country music and going to dance at the Eagles. Aunt Edith insisted that Dee and I always stay with her for a few days when we visited back home in Ohio. We spent many hours at the kitchen table playing cards and sometimes scrabble. Aunt Edith never forgot sending birthday cards to all the family. Auntie went to every wedding,shower,graduation and yes funerals. Auntie loved life. We are so blessed to have many years of the best of memories stored in my mind. All times shared growing up with cousins..all Auntie delicious recipes ...the fun..the laughter...the best times of our lives our lives.. we love you beyond words...you live on in our hearts and never forgotten.

just learned of the passing of edith, she was a kind, gentle and warm hearted person who was full of life and love. she loved all her family dearly. edith will be greatly missed but heaven is shining just a little brighter now. condolences go out the entire family, you all will be in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. THE HUGHES FAMILY

Auntie was the most generous person I had ever known. She became like a second mother to me when I was younger during a time when my parents were having problems. Her six children became my immediate family and I always looked to her for strength because I admired her tenacity and how she made raising six kids look like a walk in the park. She was the greatest listener and I will always remember her infectious laugh. My only daughter bears Nyoka as her middle name in honor of my aunt's selflessness and caring. I truly miss her and always will.

Miss you and love you, Aunt Polly.

Robin

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Cindy Corrao

john, we are so sorry for your lost our prayers are with you.

So Sorry John you have our thoughts and prayers with you

I am so sorry to hear of Linda's passing. We were classmates at both St. John's grade school and LCC class of '67 . I have many good memories of Linda during those school years. Although I have been gone from Lima over 40 years, I ran into Linda once on a home visit. She recognized me right away and we chatted about old times. She was a very caring person. May God hold her in the palm of His hand and may she rest in peace.

Marsha & Tom,
I just found out about your Dad's passing. He was a great person and a wonderful friend. I remember him tossing me up in the air when I was young, and later we used to play tennis at the school. I would always stop by their house when I was out riding my horses. I know he must be at peace now that he is with your Mom. He loved her so much. I know my parents thought so much of your parents. My Mom passed away in June of 2011.

I just wanted to send my condolences to you both and your families.
Sincerely,
Cathy

Marsha (& Tom) - I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He lived a long life to 95! My dad passed away last year at 89 and I miss him every day.
I sent this on to Judy, Bunny, Ann, Nan & Mary Redick by Facebook , as I know they will join me in saying a prayer for your comfort of mind. Love you, Marsha,

DEAR TOM AND MARSHA.

I JUST LIVE DOWN THE STREET FROM SHAWNEE CEMETERY WITH LINDA. WE HAD NO IDEA THAT THERESA PASSED AWAY. THIS MUST HAVE BEEN RECENTLY. SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL IF YOU CAN.

So sorry for your loss. He was a good man, a friend to all. Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Marty & Denny

Lamar brightened St. Rita's with his spiritual. He will be missed by many at St. Rita's.

Lamar was such an awesome man. He helped me through a very difficult time with always a kind and spiritual message. He was as gentle as a lamb and so anxious to return to his heavenly flock. Have a great ever after with Sally, Lamar and tell my Dad John that we love and miss him. I will most certainly miss your visits to distribute my copy of Our Daily Bread.

To: The children and family of Lamar.
Lamar has been a true brother and friend since 1987. Acturally a little before that for he knew my mom and visisted her often. I sold him my insurance agency back in the 60s.
More importantly Lamar, Larry Reeder and I met for years for lunch and prayers. I have stood in awe at his humble and Spirit filled life. He was always concerned for me much more than I returned. When we would talk about our health issues it was hard to drag to drag information out of him about himself, for he kept turning the conversation back to me and how I and my family were doing.
Lamar was a one and only and while I feel a great sense of loss, I know that Paradise received a great blessing by his arrival.
After Sally died we knew he no longer wanted to live, but after a little while of suffering he went back to work for the Lord, through his church, hospital and other heart felt assignments he felt he needed to perform.
So many times through phone calls, cards, and emails he would communicate with me to find out how I was doing.
I could not participate in any of the celebrations because of my health. Lamar were just recently talking about our yearning to go home. I could see that for him to be happy again he had to be in the precence of the Lord, and Sally.
So while my sorrow is deep I am yet so happy that he finally received his reward.
You will have memories and so will I until the time we meet him in the sky. As surely as the sun sets in the west, he is as happy now as he has ever been. I have no words to adaquately describe what he mean to me. When it is my time to see Christ, I will also quickly look to see Lamar and Sally. I hope you know the greatness of the blessings you have received by being a part of Lamar's life.
Larry and Karen Shaffer

Lamar was one of the kindest and most compassionate people that I know. He always greeted me with a smile, and always had nothing but good things to say about everyone. I didn't see Lamar very often, but when I did, we always had a wonderful conversation.

He will be missed by all his family and friends, but I know he will be happy to be with his lovely wife again, as he always told me how much he missed her. To his, family, just remember all the wonderful times you had with him....all the smiles and laughter, and if you hold these memories close to your heart, he will always be with you.

Dear Lisa,

I have very fond memories of weekly visits to your parents home to watch (The Waltons.)

Your parents were always so kind to my brother Tom and I. Your mom made popcorn and it was so much fun.

I am very sorry to hear of your dad's passing and your mom too.

I pray God will comfort you during these days.

My parents Dick and Jean Kile send their love and condolences as well.
Sincerely, Carolyn Collins

What a gentle, kind man! Being one of the many volunteers at St. Rita's Medical Center, I didn't know Lamar very well, however he always greeted me with a smile and kind word, as he did for everyone he met. He will be sadly missed.
My sincere condolences to his family.

Every time I would see Lamar he would ask about my husband Jack. He said I miss his singing. One time Jack was in the hospital I brought his tape player and he sang for him. My husband passed away Nov 16 so am sure Lamar is singing along with Jack. He was a great man and loved the Lord so much. Am happy to have known him.

Mary Bice

This is a man that touched more hearts than we will ever know. He would come in quietly and minster to other and in passing he would hug me and say how special I was. Everyone was special to him and he to us.
We will surely miss him but God took home one of the best.

Lamar Roebuck was a truly wonderful man. He was humble, kind, sincere, and faithful in the truest sense of the word. We are fortunate if our paths cross with just one such individual in our lifetimes. Lamar always did what he could. He reached out to others unselfishly. He volunteered happily. He always sought out the good in people and circumstances. He counted his blessings. He trusted God totally, and in return, God gave him the privilege of helping transform lives and restoring hope. While your loss is incalculable, heaven's gain is enormous. We will treasure his memory forever.

DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO YOU KIM AND YOUR FAMILY

JANE AND JIM WILHELM

Our Deepest Sympathy goes to the family and friends of Lamar. He was a kind and very positive man that would be there when needed. He visited with my Mom in the hospital and he was a very kind, gentle man. He will be missed.

Dear Family of Lamar,
Lamar was such a blessing to me at the hospital.He would come up to my floor and give me a hug every time I saw him when I was working .He would tell me how special I was to him.He would recite scripture to me and we would say it together.He was an encouragement to me -He made my day and would make me smile.I am blessed and know I will see him again in Heaven.If our paths didnt meet for a few weeks he would say "I missed you".He would tell me occassionally he didn't feel well but kept on reaching out to people.He would give them hope that this world didn't offer.He was always a pleasure.He walked his talk at the hospital.He would visit my family members at the hospital and he never complained.He is getting his Christmas wish and that is sitting at the feet of Jesus.

We attended Shawnee Alliance together with Sally and Lamar. I'm sure he'll be missed, he was a wonderful man. To all of you, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kelly, Mike & Linda & families:

So sorry to hear about Kevin's illness and death. Praying for peace and comfort for you guys.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. We will never forget all the fun we had going to "every" Redskins football game when they won the WBL back in 2006.

so so sad we will miss kevin

Linda and Mike,
So sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what you are going through. Prayers are being said for you and your family. John and Andi Wilke

My thoughts and prayers are with all of Kevin's family.

Deepest Sympathy

May the Heaven door be open to you and to all your disciples. Pray almighty God to give us all and our families the blessings and peace all over the world.

Dear fellow believers,
I just discovered a while ago that Bro. Lonnie Jenkins had passed away.
I remember the first time I heard him give a teaching. It was at Tucson Tabernacle in 1975 or 1976, I believe.
He drew 3 circles on a big white board that symbolized the body, soul, and spirit.
I was new in this Message and was very impressed by the simplicity and yet profoundness of the lesson.

About a year ago I wrote him a question and he answered my email right away and was very kind in his response. I was a bit surprised for I'm sure he was very busy.

I read all the comments and it's certainly evident that Bro. Lonnie had the right Spirit!
And though it seems like many tired warriors of the Message are getting older, and closer, soon to be plucked from the earth for His bouquet.
Yet, that's what we all want...whatever it is that God wants. To always be in His perfect will and to accept His timecard for our lives. And we know there is no guarantee for tomorrow, in this twilight time when there's danger on all sides, and in every way.

Brother Lonnie loved the Word.
And that is what God sees...how much we love the Word sent for this day, which is our Portion, that was authorized by God to come through a humble man named William Branham, who was the voice God spoke through that's recorded on the Message tapes, that came with an infallible Message because God is perfect, and all His ways are perfect to perfect His Bride, by a perfect Message sent to prepare us for the third exodus to the Promised Land. I believe Bro. Lonnie felt the same way.

May God comfort the Jenkins family and all those who are hurting at his mortal passing.
God is good, His will be done.

Brother I pray I hug you on the other side. You have touched the Melgar family in Fresno ca. In a very special way!

Your work is done enter into the joy of the Lord.

We were deeply touched to learn of the departure of this galant soldier of the cross, Br Lonnie to glory. He has left a legacy that should be observed by all word-loving saints.

Bro. Lonnie Jenkin's teaching ministry was so precious to me, washing away wrong ideas and misconceptions regarding the nature of Christ. Words are such empty tools to express the gratitude and joy we feel in his graduation. Prayers for the Jenkins family and thankfulness for the dad and grandpa they shared with us.

"Brother Lonnie was a true great teacher of the word of the Lord, He no doubt was part of the five fold ministry that brings the bride of the Lord Jesus to perfection".

I will remember Bro. Lonnie S. Jenkins when he first visited Malawi in 1982, then I had read the End Time Message book but I had not yet made up my mind. I was still debating in heart where to go and I thought of joining Seveth Day Adventist because of sabbath issue, I thought they had truth after reading their book. As I was preparing to go and join them to be one of them, its when I head about a meeting that took place on Friday evening at Bangwe Church Centre, where Brother Lonnie Jenkins was preaching. He taught about True Sabbath and right their my eyes were opened and I quickly made up my mind, my heart was broken, I found myself in tears of joy because this was what I was looking for, God answered my prayer, he saw me in Malawi and send Bro. Lonnie Jenkins.
To me brother Lonnie Jenkins is a great teacher I have ever seen, I salute him, for the great missionary work he did hear in Malawi. Spiritually speaking he was a freind, my teacher, my father and a hero. May his soul rest in peace.

Pastor Enock Kapesi, (Blantyre, Malawi).

To the Jenkins family: Our hearts have been heavy and prayers have been going up for all of you during this time. We appreciate all the Bro. Lonnie has done for God's kingdom and know that he will be greatly missed. May the Lord sustain you with strength and comfort and we look forward with you, to stepping over together and seeing him on the other Side, believing that Day will be very soon. God bless all of you!

I never met Brother Lonnie, but whoever I met in Message heard about Precious Brother Lonnie Jenkins. He was a great teacher of Bible, brillient and faithful minister of the Word of God. I heard he is the person who brought the Message into Pakistan. I greatly appreciative and thankful to him for his great efforts to take this precious End time Message around the globe.

May God grant peace and comfort to Brother Jeff, all the family member and all the saints at Lima Ohio. My sincere and faithful prayers always with saints in Chirst.

Shalom

Brother Khalid Yaqoob

I feel I know him so well , been watching your programme for a couple of years my thoughts are for you all , I will miss him

I met Lonnie when He came to Minister in Kenya Loved His messages responsibilities of Husbands and Fathers. On the day He was Promoted to Glory
I looked for the last Message in the database that He Preached, It was Communion as far as I found The 27 minutes message was a big blessing and as He left the pulpit as He sang the song The Family of GOD.
What a blessing

May God Bless and Give Rest to the Jenkins Family, may you be comforted at this time and in knowing that our precious Brother Lonnie prepared and blessed too many to tell with the wonderful gifts that God bestowed upon him for edifying and teaching others. His personality was kind and gentle, a very humble man. I will continue watching all the teaching series that I can from Brother Lonnie as I count him a very anointed teacher for the end time message. My prayers and condolences to the family-Sister Robin Wiggins

In memory of Adrian, Robin WIggins lit a candle.

In that sweet, by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore. Thank God for your life man of God, I'm sure that your young man is rejoicing already there.

We are truly grateful to have benefited from the tremendous ministry God gave to our precious brother Lonnie. He will be greatly missed. May our Lord Jesus Christ comfort his family and the saints in Lima. Our love and prayers go out to you all.

I never met br. Lonnie but know him for who he was a true student in every way.......he leaves a legacy of legacys.....even students to complete his cause.........Mel cupido.

Br. Lonnie's preaching/teaching always blessed me. He truly left "Footprints In The Sand of Time" for us to follow. May God's loving arms surround you as adjust to this loss.
Carol Hendley

I remamber his first visit in Russia with thеaching of the Message.
To say that I was been impressed to say nothing! It was samething from above that had brought us right understanding of the Word. When he was with us I was glad to pull from that gift and be a bit of his ministry.

Glory to the Lord for the Servant as Bro. Lonnie is!

Though not met in flesh, your labor in the vine touched many. You fought a good fight, run the race to completion until you got promoted to glory. What an inspiration you have left! I can imagine what a fellowship you are having with the saints. One of these days, we will meet to part no more.

Will miss you here in Nairobi, Kenya but in a little while we will be gathered all together to be with our Lord. We have mixed feelings happy you rested but sorry for the family and us who are left behind for no one can feel the gap and the shoes you walked on in this world. You are a soldier that has won the war and has received his glory and will get his crown. Kenya will be one of the stars in your crown, you have won my brother, rest in peace.

Sorry to learn of the passing on of our beloved brother Lonnie Jenkins, the Bible teacher.

I was indeed touched. I 've playing brother Lonnie's cds almost every evening and my children have been calling him, "The old man who reads the Bible" And they knomally tell me, "Put for us the cd of the old man who reads the Bible."

We shall miss brother Lonnie. But we thank God for his life and the way God has used him for accomplishing God's purpose.

Indeed brother Lonnie has graduated after fighting the good fight. We pray for the family of the Jenkins. May the Almighty God comfort them in this hour. God bless you.

It is a privilege for us to have known him. Bro. Lonnie was a great blessing for us. He preached several times in our church.

God bless you.

Bro. Piotr Sniegon,pastor church Wola Piotrowa

Thank you for your faithfulness to the Word, Brother Lonnie. You were faithful to the end, always encouraging. May the Lord richly bless you, and may He keep His protecting arms around the Jenkins family in the days to come.

Prayers go out to the Jenkins family during this time. And always. Bro. Lonnie will be missed. But soon we'll all be going Home; together, to be with our Lord. The lyrics to a beautiful song: "Strike up the band, Assemble the choir, Another soldier's coming home, Another warrior hears the call he's waited for so long, He'll battle no more, But he's won his wars, Make sure Heaven's table has room for at least one more, Sing a welcome song, Another soldier's coming home." God Bless You all.

Dear Bro. Jeff, Bro. Paul and families,
May God give you strength and comfort with the passing of Bro. Lonnie. We are so sorry for your loss. We loved Bro. Lonnie so much and he helped us in so many ways. We will always remember the last time he was in Wichita, when he was setting up his equipment before the service began, how he smiled at us with a twinkle in his eye as we sat waiting for the service to begin. And I will always remember how he called and offered to help me come to Family Camp the first year I attended. Those memories are so special to me. We learned so much from Bro. Lonnie and am so thankful to the Lord for such a wonderful ministry. May God bless you all.

I really admire such a life of service for the Lord. The Lord has taken His gift of teaching back home. I look forward to meeting him in the rapture my precious brother Lonnie.

We have listened to this precious brother over the years and we will miss him with all of our hearts and our prayers are with his family...God bless you!

A simple message from a simple person remembering Brother Lonnie and the times we had together. When my late husband (Michael Hunt) and I pastored a rough-hewn church on Vancouver Island, Brother Lonnie came and had special meetings and I believe eternal things were done there, some we may not discover until we cross over. I will miss knowing that he is still somewhere on this earth with the rest of us, battling it out, and holding this message high. All my love and prayers to the family. I would have loved to have been at the funeral to see the so many friends I miss. Marilyn

Gracias Hermano Lonnie por sus enseñanzas, el señor le haga brillar como una estrella en perpetua eternidad...

May the Almighty comfort you all, family members and Believers Christian Fellowship members in this difficult times of loss of such man of God. May his work be even more fruitful now and in the years to come.
All the glory to God for all what Lonnie Jenkins has done.

2 Timothy 4:7-you have fought the good fight, you have finished the course, you have kept the faith. You will be missed Bro. Lonnie!

“Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;”

Dear brother Jeff, brother Paul and all of the family,

may God bless and comfort you in this hour and in the days ahead!

When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart, and know we meet again.

Bro. Lonnie’s teachings has been a significant stepping stone for our spiritual journey. Especially those on the Godhead were simply wonderful. Also the blessings out of the Global Answers series are continuing. For us, all has contributed to a more balanced walk in Christ.

We feel very privileged we had the opportunity to meet with Bro. Lonnie personally in 2008 and at the end of last year. The conversations we had at the different places were a blessing we will never forget.

As a young Message believer in the early 90's, I had the privilege of hearing Br. Lonnie when he came and ministered in the church I was attending as well as being able to pick up some of his videos. It never ceased to amaze me how his gift was able to open up the Word of God to my young believing heart. I always looked forward to hearing him and to this day love listening to his gift as I still close the service being just as enriched now as I was then. My prayers are with his family and congregation, he will be so missed but what a privilege to have had such a man to call Dad, Grandpa, brother, and friend. May God richly bless you all.

Dear memories I have on bro Lonnie's meetings in the church of Rotterdam. Many times I was his translator in Dutch. I remember his just converted son Jeff was with him, singing the great Emancipator, now pastor. Now I am pastoring the little church in Waddinxveen, Holland, where bro Rapp Crook is ministering as well.
We are also very thankful for bro Lonnie's legacy in Global Answers and Home Biblestudy. They are blessings for the Bride of Jesus Christ.
God's comfort and blessings to the family from Christian Fellowship Shalom, Waddinxveen.

God bless the family as they mourn the loss of Bro Lonnie. We count it a privilege to have known him.

WE ALL WILL MISS YOU BROTHER SEE YOU IN THE OTHER SIDE WITH LOVE YOUR BROTHER IN CHRIST BROTHER SERGE MEMBI

Our sincere condolences to the family and the church. We are praying for you all and trust that God will give you strength as you press forward.

God Bless You.

a servant of God

Rest in peace saint.

I know the departure of our brother may have left the family and the assembly a time to grief, but if we all can go through memory lane we all we see what a blessing our brother was to believer in the United States, Europe, Africa and other part of the world. I always love the grace manifested in brother Lonnie teaching and how he explain with history and other materials.

My prayer rest with brother Jeff and brother Paul. May the Good Lord through you continue in the foot step that your father walked. Shalom

We have enjoined his Messages for many years. He was a blessing tous
I'm sure he will be missed by many.
God The Family

I'll never forget the last time Brother Lonnie visited our local Assembly. He mentioned something that the prophet of God said, that "the secret of The Supernatural is to relax." Thank God for the life he lived as a disciple of Jesus-Christ, and an example of true sacrifice for The Gospel of Truth. May God comfort his family.

I can not stop to cry since I heard the news. It was a great loss to me and to all those who in some way were influenced by his teachings. I miss him a lot. Jenkins family, please receive hugs from your brothers in Lima, Peru. Your servant in Christ, Bro. Luis Angel Huaman.

Bro.we will meet on the other side! Farewell and wait for us!

We both have very fond memories of Bro. Jenkins since we stayed with him in 1994. We spent about two weeks having fellowship and discussing the Word.

He was very gracious and kind, as were the rest of the Jenkins familiy.

Bro. Lonnie now rests with the blessed, awaiting his reward.

We will be remembering those he has left behind at this time.

I am very grateful for the opportunity I had to get to know Bro. Lonnie and to grow up under his ministry. I appreciated so much his reliance upon the grace of God and the all-sufficiency of Jesus Christ: it's not what we have done or can do, but what He did that saves us.
Bro. Lonnie was an authentic and caring person, the same whether he was behind the pulpit or not. He's left a rich heritage and a wonderful family who share his love for God and people. May the Lord comfort them in their time of loss. Our prayers are with you!

Much love,

Rapp, Liesbeth and Job Crook

I met Bro. Lonnie when I was sixteen years old. He and Bro. Jeff were one of the
first ministers to come to our church in Albion, Pa. after we had received the message. He invited us to Tuscon for the December meetings in 1976. We had no idea that there were so many believers. Bro. Lonnie made sure I had a place to stay, and made sure I went on a short trip over the Mexican border with other believers. Over the years, I remember him as being kind, firm, and steady. Whenever he saw Bryan and I over the years at family camp and such he always greeted us with his bright smile. He will be greatly missed but we know he has reached his reward. Our prayers go out to the family and church family. God Bless

Our days on earth may know there number and in death we sweetly slumber , but we are on our way to that fair land where the soul of man never dies.

Lonnie is gone ahead to be a sign of resurrection and that brightens our path.

God give us Grace to look past the curtain of time where the evils of this life no longer can touch us.

We had an opportunity to benefit from the gift of Ministering and believe the Bride of Christ all over the world her faith will be strengthened.

May God Bless You All.

I'll always remember him.

Our thoughts and prayers for strength and comfort are with you today.

The first time I came to Lima, Br. Lonnie took the time to show me around town and to take me for coffee. It was also not the last time. What a sweet brother. I felt I already knew him and brother Jeff from the videos.
Our sincere condolences to Brothers Lonnie, Paul, their families, the BCF church and the wider community of friends.
God bless
Frank, Sandra, Laura and Michaela Naude

As we are about to stream the memorial service of our dear br Lonnie, we want you to know that we are with you in heart and spirit. May our dear Lord strengthen the Family and believers at BCF. For many years we have been the beneficiaries of priceless teachings of our dear br Lonnie and shared it with hundreds of fellow brothers and sisters via dvd's. We will miss our brother but his legacy of teachings will remain precious and very much appreciated. We will remember him as a MASTER TEACHER, but humble enough to learn from others. When he closed a service by singing: "I want to live the way He wants me to live..." we knew it was a song that came from his heart and created the same desure in us. Thank you Br Lonnie for teaching us to walk in the Light as He is in the Light.

Just wanted to let you know, our thoughts & prayers go out to you all. May God give you comfort & peace in your hearts during this very tought time !

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Bro. Lonnie will be missed by all. He was such an example and such a tower of strength and knowledge. I always imagined if I saw the Apostle Paul he would be just like Bro. Lonnie. The twinkle in his eye was just the icing on the cake. May Jesus comfort you all during this time and in the days and years to come.

Brothers, sisters and family members. Really it a sad news the lost of brother leonnie. We believe he just change the dimension. He did serve a good cause. Dears be encourage by the word of God. We remember you in our prayers. May the Lord Jesus Christ be your portion. My condolence. Brother Israel Beya.south africa.

May God richly bless Bro Lonnie. Soon I believe we shall meet each other in the air.
I would like to express great attitude for what he has done to help the mission fields in Viet Nam.

Because God gave us a special gift called memories' Bro. Lonnie shall never be far from us. Each of us have a special place in our hearts for him, and his wonderful way of making us all fill gifted. Yet we know there may be moments when we will fill lonely, therefore, we shall be in prayer for the family, and the church. May God be very close to you as you adjust to Bro. Lonnie being in his new home. Sincerely, The Praters' Frank & Pam

I have known and appreciated Brother Lonnie for over 35 years. His ministry was a blessing to the Saints here in Newfoundland. During the past few weeks we have been playing Bro. Lonnie's online Sermons in our Sunday Evening online Services.

We are saddened by our Brother Lonnie Jenkins Home-Going, but we rejoice in that his Going serves to increase our Hunger and Thirst for The Resurrection and Rapture that we might see our Brother and have Fellowship with him again in the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God bless his family with this encouragment.

Sincerely in Christ,

An amazing thing about Bro Lonnie is that he means so much to people that he never met. Men and women who who were affected by his ministry that he never knew. He was a one of a kind member of the mystical body of Jesus Christ. I felt like I was with him in that house in everyone of the Book of Revelation home Bible studies, though I never shook his hand etc in my life. God bless you, Kyle

He will forever be missed while we are in these bodies. He is the only man that had that eagle eye look when he spoke with you full of Godly wisdom and a love for the Word of God. I am looking forward to sitting down with him on the other side. God richly bless you all.

May the Lord rest the soul of Br. Lonnie and reward him according to His Labors of Love for the Bride of Christ.

Many years ago as a young man, I had given him a small offering. Upon receiving my returned check, he had signed his name and beneath it wrote, “God bless you.” Although a small deed, it had an enormous impression on my impressionable mind and is still speaking to me today.

May the Lord repay all the love and energy that Brother Lonnie gave to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Brother Daniel Andes and Family

Remembering you all in prayer especially today.

I really enjoyed Brother Jenkins and ministry ! Glory to God he is home! I am also sad for our loss. Soon we will all meet in the air!

Praying for comfort for the family.....Bro.Lonnie was truely an outstanding minister....just a few more days.....AS CHRISTAINS WE NEVER SEE OUR LOVED ONES FOR THE LAST TIME......

He was always kind to us and quick to compliment or say something positive. I enjoyed the time I had talking to him not only about God but his insight on life was always in a relevant positive way. We would get a kick out of his enthusiasm to learn something "new" from Keila concerning Puerto Rican cooking or Spanish words in general. When she would answer him, he would get that twinkle in his eye, a smile and say, "Ah yes!". God Bless!

Dear Brother Jeff and Family,

It is truly amazing what God can do with a yielded vessel.

I thank God for Brother Lonnie life and inspiration he brought to me and Laura on our Christian journey.

May Jesus comfit your hearts and soon turn our weeping to joy.

With much love and affection Bro Gavin and Sister Laura (U.K.)

Dear brother Jeff and family.

I want to express my sincere condolences to you and your family !

Since I have no homechurch in the neighbourhood I always enjoy listening
to your messages by the internet.
I will miss brother Lonnie and his gift of teaching. But I am glad to know
that he is now in that beautiful place beyond the curtain of time.

God's peace be with you and your loved ones !

Your sister in Christ, Marja van der Velden from the Netherlands

I always remember Brother Lonnie as a kind and wise man who always took the time to say hello to folks even when his time was pressured. His passing is a great loss to many who knew him, even from a distance. My thoughts and prayers are with his family who I believe also share his kindness, thoughtfulness and wisdom. God bless, see you again on the other side of this life.

Bro. Lonnie was a Great Teacher of this Endtime Message, as I am sure everyone that knew him would agree. No doubt many have stated this fact in their comments of him. Allow me to expamd upon this commonly known fact about this very talented man of God. The mark of a annointed teacher of the five-fold ministry, is not to confound others by their knowledge, or impress with their presentation; It is the gift, which is God given, to be able to take the hard to understand, or hidden elements of the revelation of the Word, and break it down, connect the dots, so that it becomes simple to understand. By stating this, I am in no wise taking away from the supernatural element of of receiving revelation. Revelation is God given, and cannot not be obtained by human reasoning. Bro. Branham said "God hides himself in simplicity, and reveals himself in the same" Bro. Lonnie was very talented at reaching into the simplicity of God to bring to sight that which God had hidden. With the responsibilities, and pace of the duties of life, I had not seen Bro. Lonnie in the last few years. Thankfully with today's technology, I was able to hear his ministry from places on the internet. I was always greatly blessed by his ministry, and I cherished things that I learned both from his speaking and his life ensample. He will be greatly missed. Truly Bro. Lonnie has taken his place among those Great Heros of Faith that have gone on before: "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses."

Many years have passed since I last saw Bro. Lonnie or his family, but my heart still goes out to all the family and friends of our precious brother. May God grant each of you peace during this time of mourning. One day soon we will reunite without time or distance to separate us! What a glorious reunion!! Praying for each of you.

a true soldier of the cross, teacher , missionary and very special friend we have known him since 1970 he will be missed here ,but we are happy he has gone on to his reward of a far better place
Love and prayer for the family left behind.

Iam going to miss my precious friend and Brother Lonnie, we never met in person, but one day we are going to meet in heaven, my condolences to the family , our precious bro Lonnie had an impact on the believers oversea, Iam one of them, it hurts that my bro Lonnie has pased away But we know where he is right now beyond the curtain of time
May God continue helping and blessing our precious Bro Jeff with the great ministry God has given him, I thank God for men as Bro Lonnie and Bro Jeff, they have dedicated their lives to serve God, Bro Lonnie fought the good battle and he won , he receieved the crown.

Bro Jeff and family , you are not alone , there are people around the world who are praying for you day and night.

sincerely Bro Tony South America , Venezuela

The first time I met Bro. Lonnie he was preaching in Louisville, KY at Bro. Brad Burgess assembly. I was a young lady in my 20's and single. (1986) I was so attentive to his teaching on the Holy Scriptures and how the Lord equipped him to teach. I filled my car to bring many to hear Bro. Lonnie that special week in my life. I am so thankful for his life of service to the One that we all love and adore. God bless the Jenkins family that remain. You were so blessed with this man. We love you all. Our prayers are with you at this time.

I loved him

I wish to present my sincere condolences to all those who are closely touched by the demise of our beloved Brother Lonnie Jenkins. He has been a great source of inspiration for me personally. He wrote to me a few times, even shared videos/DVDs of his timely services for distribution on the field. His teaching Ministry would reach every level of Believer, he was so simple in his approach on many vital doctrinal subjects of the Message. Surely he has been mightily & extensively used by God to reach out to innumerable Believers worldwide. We will surely miss him.

Shalom to his dear family he left behind.

Dear Jeff and Paul: I feel honored to have known your dad, and to have been friends with the two of you throughout my teenage years in Tucson. Your dad did an incredible job raising you guys! I'm so proud of the both of you. Please know that I'm praying that the Lord will be your strength and comfort during the next days, weeks and months. Your dad reminded me so much of my own dad, and he will truly be missed. What a beautiful example of a true Christian he was.

I'm happy for him, that his journey is completed, but I'm sad for us who remain as we continue the race with one less among us. But we have a hope, and such a glorious future to look forward to; if we just keep our eyes on the goal, and lean on those that love us for courage, one day we'll never have to say goodbye again. Thank the Lord! But until then, our hearts will go on singing...

Dear Bro. Jeff and Paul and families; Sharon and Launi Kay and families;
We are thinking of you all and praying for you, that the Lord would be especially near to you and fill the void in your hearts. We know Bro Lonnie has stepped into that other dimension and is experiencing everything he believed and taught. We feel as though a father in the Lord has left us too. Knowing him since the early days at the old Tucson Tabernacle on south Stone, him speaking to us as young people there, Jerry working for him when we were married, and renting his house on Koralee when he went to Washington. Hearing him expound the Word and seeing the great gift of ministry the Lord placed in his life grow to such a breadth and depth, and bring such wonderful strength to the Bride worldwide has been tremendous. May the Lord strengthen you all, as we now have another one waiting for us on the other side~
Love, Jerry and Rachel Shull

Dear Jeff, Paul and family,
Our heart felt prayers are with you at this time, he was truly a gallant solider of the cross! Randy and I both have blessed memories of our" youthful" days with Bro Lonnie and you all! May God comfort your hearts as you continue on in the faith! Wish we could be there to celebrate a Hero's going home!

Dear Brother Jeff, Sis.Debbie and family,

We are remembering you, your family and assembly in our heartfelt prayers. Bro.Lonnie was very dear to us and we treasure the times we were able to fellowship with him and hear him minister the Word of God; so quietly and yet with such authority and power!!

One time Annahope had ulcers all in her mouth and throat(she was very little). She was in so much pain she could not even drink water or take a bottle. She had become dehydrated and the doctors were planning to hospitalize her if she did not start drinking the next morning. We felt to take her to the convention and have Bro.Lonnie pray for her after the service.
I remember Bro.Lonnie praying the most calm, simple little prayer. There was no great emotion, not even the raising of his voice. However when we left, after his prayer, Annahope was Completely healed and ALL ulcers had Miraculously disappeared !! She ate hot, salty, spicy food and drank within an hour!! It was a Miracle!!! Your daddy lived what he preached and signs followed his ministry! He will be greatly missed by many.

Thank You for sharing Bro.Lonnie so willing with the Bride all these years!!! We have benefited from your sacrifice. It is our prayer that the Lord would move very near to you and be your tender comfort during the days to come.

In Much Prayer and Warm Christian Love,
The St.John Family(Bro.Gary, Sis.Leisa, Annahope and Samuel)

As brother Lonnie said before he passed away in his last video tape " you might be watching me and I am already onnn the other Side waiting for you."
We believe that we will see him very soon. We are so blessed by his gift of teaching. He was such a blessing to the Bride of Jesus Christ all over the world.
Our condolences to the Jenkins family and to BCF.
May the Lord bless and comfort you.
Bro. Rony, Marie-Ange and Roanna Saintil

Dear Bro.Lonnie,

Bro.Gary and I will forever cherish the words you spoke to us years ago, sitting in our home in SC.(About being careful the words you listen to, as ALL words carry spirits;how it is so easy to pick up a spirit to be deceived and not even know it) Your Godly and wise counsel prepared us for a major test that would come our way, and your advise shielded us from deception!!

When our daughter, Annahope, was only 2 years old the Lord used your convention sermons -on raising/protecting children- to instruct us in how to raise our children to be Godly and Virtuous Believers. We have used that advise these past 14 years, and it HAS WORKED!!!

You have been a treasure to the Bride and to our family personally!! It has been our HONOR to know you in this life and to hear you minister the Word of God so many times.

We look forward to seeing you again, one day very soon..."In the Sweet By and By".....We miss you.

In Much love an Eternal gratitude,
The St.John Family(Bro.Gary, Sis.Leisa, Annahope and Samuel)

I am sorry for the sadness you must feel in your hearts right now. I know it is bitterseeet. Many thoughts and prayers are going your way to hold you up.

BRO. JEFF AND FAMILY,
OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO YOU AT THIS MOST TRYING TIME. OUR LITTLE FLOCK WAS JUST BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF YOUR DADS TEACHING CLARITY IN THE WORD, STILL YET HIS MEMORY WILL LIVE ON IN THE HEARTS OF THE BELIEVERS AS A GREAT TEACHER OF GODS WORD AS WAS DELIVERED TO US.
BRO. ERNIE MCCORMICK, HOUSE OF PRAYER, MANSFIELD OHIO.

Our loving and heartfelt expressions to the Jenkins family and Believers Christian Fellowship of Lima, Ohio.
Bro. Lonnie was a Master Teacher and loved by each in our family and the Bride of Christ.
We will take up the Torch and continue to run faithfully, until the end.
Bro. John and Sis. Sharon Andes and family

Dear Jeff and Paul and Families,
Well, my heart is sure touched by your loss, by ALL our loss. I have so many sweet memories of your Dad. He was always so special to me. We have been and will continue to remember you all in prayer. Be looking for him, one of these mornings he will come knocking on your door. So see ya then :) The Rapture will be shortly after and then we all will be together again for Eternity. Until then..God bless you all and confort your hearts and hold you so close to Him.
With Warm Christian Love,
The King Family

Good bye Brother Lonnie, Thanks for being a blessing for me.

Brother Lonnnie was not just "One in a Million"....he one "one of a Kind". As Bro Byskal stated 'he was a Pioneer in this Message". Has there been a greater...more Gifted Teacher of this Wonderful End Time Message ? He had "special calling and ministry"....for he was a special God called man !

Only our Precious Lord and Saviour could "talley...keep track" of the Eternal impact and effect he was to untold thousands of God's Bride worldwide over the many years in Service for the King...think of the hours and sacrifice required to visit so many Nations of the World. The untold services spoken, numerous questions answered...the Souls won to the Kingdom of God.

Your life, words and testimony will live on my Brother. We are certain you received a very special "entrance into Heaven"....WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT !!!!


On behalf on the family affected by this great loss ....As our Prophet stated "We will bring you into HIS PRESENCE ...with our prayers".


God Bless !

Matthew, Ronda , Tristian & Amberly Redel

I understand no words or thoughts can take the place of Lonnie. May Our Saviors consuming Love and Comfortor meet every need, of every member of the family now and in the days to come is our prayer. It won't be long before we will all be together eternally.
God's Peace be with you. We love you all...

Brother John, Sister Cheryl & Martin Family along with the entire Send The Light Outreach Church

Dear Families and Loved Ones of Bro. Lonnie:

Since 1982 our relationship with Bro. Lonnie and Bro. Jeff grew with respect for their ministries to the Bride of Christ, by always manifesting a sincere desire to help heal lives and draw people closer to the Lord Jesus. Bro. Lonnie was very patient with persons privately and while ministering the Message through his gift of teaching. God will continue to bless His Word through the people that have been influenced by his life and ministry. With godly love, prayers and respect, we remain your brother and sister in Christ Jesus: Ken and Joyce Andes

When Bro. Jenkins was in New Brunswick 1978 and other camp meetings here. He used the song WE ARE HEIRS OF THE FATHER as his theme song. Oh what a blessing he was to us. Love and Prayers. Bro.&Sis Roger Carr. Bro&Sis Dwight Palmer

I met Rev. Lonnie Jenkins back in 1986 when he would have services in Conneticutt once a month, in a small house that belong to the Cutts family. I had just came into the Message and he was responsible for laying the foundation to much of what I know of the Message, indicating and lining up biblical precepts opon precepts in their proper order. He was a tremendous teacher highly gifted of God particularly in the realm of the prophetic books, I will surely miss him. I pray that God would touch the Jenkins family with a special anointing of His Spirit in their moment of grief and joy, grief that as I, they will miss him and joy that we know he is in a far better place in Glory. Just waiting for us to join him. His long list of works including missionary, will surely following him there. Amen.

Sincerely, Bro. William Alejandro

We met Brother Lonnie in Tucson, Arizona, at the Tucson Tabernacle. We worshipped together in that church from June 1970 to March 1971. We had a nice fellowship together and we have been friends since that time. He has been a blessing to us in Tucson and also later on when he visited us a few times in Switzerland and ministered for us. He is the one who got me started on the computer. We thank the Lord for having been able to spend a few hours with him in November of last year, in Lima, Ohio. We thank God for his worldwide ministry that has been a blessing to many. Our love and prayers go to his son Jeff and his son Paul and their families and the members of the local church. May God comfort you and strengthen you in this time of temporary separation. With you, we will be looking forward to seeing him in the first resurrection. In Christian love, Bro. Francois and Sis. Susan Le Picard, and their assembly in Switzerland.

I believe that you have fought a good fight and gone on to your reward. I will always remember your fervency for the Word. Rest in peace fellow pilgrim until we meet in the rapture. Praying for continued peace & comfort that only the Lord can give upon your family, church & friends worldwide.

Through Bro. Lonnie's worldwide ministry we received the Message of the Hour in our country in 1995 and since then always helped the local ministry in every aspect.
We thank God for this ministry and this memory will always be in our hearts

Bro. Lonnie and I have traveled to many contries on missions including former Yugoslavia. Like Bro. Byskal said -he was a PIONEER -a gentleman and a Christian exsample to all of us.
My prayers are with you and god bless you!
Bro. Milko Ravbar

Brother Eric

I knew to Brother Lonnie by the Web. I was passing for a difficult time and, looking for a ministry that would help me . I came into contact with Brother Lonnie, in BCF and, since I explained my case, he was patient to deal with me, considering me, respecting me and, I believe, suffering my condition, to give me the best advice of God for my deliverance. I thank and bless to our precious God for him, giving me the opportunity to know him even for this medium of email.

God be with the family Jenkins and saints there, comforting you, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Brother Emilio
Lima - PERU

Our heart-felt condolences to the family and congregation. We have many fond memories of our Brother Lonnie. The one thing that stands out is his love for the Word and his never-ending desire to know more about our Savior, Jesus Christ. His joy was digging deep into the Scriptures to receive every portion of God's blessings, and then telling others about what he has found. This old soldier of the cross has been a blessing to many, and he will be greatly missed. We appreciate his solid stand on the Word for all these years. The Jenkins family and the precious congregation in Lima are in our prayers.

Your servants in Christ,
Brother Billy Paul and Brother Joseph Branham

Bro Lonnie. How Blessed we are to have your ministry. If there ever was a present day example of the Apostle Paul it's your ministry. We shall meet again. What an honor it was to meet you in October 2012.

Bro Lonnie was a good friend and heped so many around the world. He visited us several times in Scotland and spoke at our Ministers' meetings also. He did a great work and will ever be remembered by us and all in our fellowship here in Glasgow. All his family can be proud of him and we pass or love and repects to you all
God bless you
Ron Borthwick and all at Believers Christian Fellowship, Glasgow.

Good byee and God Bless your soul Bro Lonnie.. Till we meet at Jesus feet

Bro. Jeff
Please allow me to extend our deepest sympathies, to you, your family and our brothers and sisters at BCF.

Our bother Lonnie will be missed, but he said that he is waiting for us, when I watched the clip, he spoke to my heart, I never met him in person, he mailed me a few times, I would have loved to have him as a dad, but I know I'll meet him one day.

God called me in 2010 to the Message, I had questions about the baptism and a friend gave me some Global Answers DvD's to watch...that was it.
Since then, we are listening to tapes, I download all sermons preached at BCF using Itunes even archives as I feel led.

In November I recorded a few songs that I mailed to sister Suzanne Brooks to thank you and your dad for what you have done for me and my family, I hope you received them.

God Bless you all
Bro. Ferdie

Bro. Jeff,

I am writing to extend our deepest sympathies, to you and your family. It was my great honour to be with him during his visit in the Philippines as well as having a one on one interview with him. My husband and I are so pleased everytime we get his reply immediately , loads of email though he is facing.
These were the memories we've shared with him and I know it would continue as he left us a great impact on how we should stand in the Word of God.
Our Prayers are with you.

In Christ,
Bro. Rudy, Sis. Marie, Erell, Seth and Adrielle Derilo

A great friend and a dear precious Brother have reached the shores of Home. I spoke with Brother Lonnie on the phone one morning a couple of days before he vent back to the hospital. I will miss him greatly - but at the same time I am happy to know we will meet again soon and forever be together!

On behalf of my wife and the brothers and sisters of Faith Tabernacle, Vadheim, Norway, we send our condolence to all you children and the family. God be with you and comfort you during this time.

Dear Brethren and fellow Comrades in Christ,

This is to offer you my condolences on the passing on of your dad and family and to the church an elder. May God comfort you during these times of longing and mourning.
Pastor Jeff and family, All is well and the best thing is that he fought a good fight, kept the faith and now has been promoted on to glory and reunited with the saints and the prophet. Lets strive to finish the work and soon be re-united with him and the other saints to meet the Lord in the air if we remain till the time.

Sincerely in Christ

Josh

Hello, I'm very sorry for your loss and I'm praying for strength for the family. Lord bless you all and now Bro. Lonnie is in that Sweet By and By. God Bless and much prayers.

I have so many fond memories of Brother Lonnie, but perhaps the one I'll share here is one that not so many would ever remember. It was quite a long time ago, probably back in 1999. I was a young man, newly married, and we were driving several hours to attend services there in the old sanctuary. It had been impressed upon our hearts to support a certain missionary in Russia, even though it was quite a sacrifice for us. I had spoken with Brother Lonnie about it, and when he preached that next day, he took the time in service to acknowledge our sacrifice by name as a way to encourage others to give. As someone who never really received much praise, this really made me feel quite special. Brother Lonnie always had a smile and warm handshake for me, and always took the time to answer my questions, and we shared many of the same interests from alternative medicine to straw bale house construction. I'm sure that had we been closer in age we would have been very close friends as our interests ran closely together. I will miss him and that piercing look he would give me when I would ask him a question about the Word.

I will always remember Brother Lonnie Jekins. He was a great teacher of the gospel. His way of bringing the word was so special-I mean illustration. There was one Lonnie Jekins and there will be no any other Lonnie Jekins. I heard him expound the teaching on the God head it was so clear and wonderful I really enjoyed. Lives of great men will always leave memories that can't be erased from our hearts. My father my father the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

He was very kind, humble, loveable by his sentences and words whenever i asked him a query...He never gets irritared or frustrated even i asked the same question multiple times, he patiently answers with his more patience...He is so humble to say sometimes that's what he understands...I love him so much and really missed him and his guidance...Always remember each and every point he has written in each email...He is really and absolutely a true and humble servant of the Lord who guided with his marvellous answers. I learned a lot of this from him and his memories with this email will not fade away and continues even after Rapture.

I loved your dad almost as I loved my own dad. His passing leaves a great void in all our hearts. I can only imagine the sadness you, who were blessed to call him Dad and Grandpa, will be going through. We have but a handful of special memories of time spent with him over 30 years, you all have thousands over your lifetimes. I know we will all treasure each and every one.

I remember in my early teen i would sit in the living room with dad and listen to bro. Lonnie teach. I really enjoyed hearing him preach.He is among the few by then i had listened to and of course helped me so much in my christian walk.

All in all,iam so sad, in that i will greatly miss him, but thank God for unto me is hope of meeting him some glorious day beyond the yonder.

God be with the family and assembly and the church at large.

Just wanted to share that in the 15 yrs. that my husband has been pastor, we viewed Bro. Lonnie's teaching at our church for a service once. Besides my husband preaching we have had visiting ministers (of course) and only heard Bro. Branham's message besides Bro. Lonnie's teachings. We have prayed for you for years (24). The Jenkins family has been an extreme blessing to us and we appreciate the work of the Lord and the grace of God on your lives. The Message through Bro. Lonnie and Bro. Jeff is phenomenal. We want to thank you and assure you we are praying for your family. God bless you. Sis. Dori Courchaine

I first met Bro. Lonnie at Ohio Camp in Aug.1998. I got to have a time to speak with him in person on a visit to my friend Vince Barnhart's home in Ohio in 1999. I sometimes communicated with Bro. Lonnie by email. I ws greatly blessed by videos of his preaching and missionary reports.Bro. Lonnie visited South Korea in the 1980s and I through a phone call to him in 1995 got the contact information for the Korean Message believers in Korea. I am half Korean and I used to visit my grandma's house in Seoul when my Korean dad and his mom were alive.In Seoul I met Pastor Bro. Suh Man-ok and Sis. Kim Jinjoo who were friends with Bro. Lonnie and I first saw from them videos of Bro. Lonnie. I spoke with Sis. Kim Jinjoo on the phone and I know that she and Bro. Suh are thinking of Bro. Lonnie at this time with love and respect. Bro. Lonnie was a great role model and I know that he is in Heaven and we will see him again.

Condolences to our beloved family and saints at BCF, our hearts are with you during this sorrowing moment, but we are comforted to know that we will meet with that beloved and galant soldier of the cross beyond Jordan!

Although we never met Brother Lonnie face to face, we still felt that special kinship with him. The Revelation Bible Study series was such a blessing to us. We are praying for the family for strength in this time, but at the same time rejoicing to the heavens for Bro. Lonnie - finally home. God Bless y'all.

Brother Jeff and family



My prayers are with you. May the Lord grant you comfort and peace which no man can understand

MAY HIS GALLANT SOUL REST IN ETERNAL PEACE. I BELIEVE HE HAS FINISHED THE COURSE.

Bro Lonnie will sorely be missed here on earth, but he is dancing with the angels before Gods throne!

A man wise beyond measure, a patient teacher who fearlessly spread Gods word to nations around the world. Bro Lonnie was Matthew 28:19!

All that you have spoken and all that you taught my precious brother and now you can live that eternally with our Lord Jesus Christ.
What a legacy brother Lonnie.
When we see the harvest the work of BCF with Brother Jeff your son we can see that the Lord had his hand upon your ministry which we see manifested in the work carried out by BCF.
The missionary work at BCF the five fold ministry, the teaching is inspirational and it is Jesus Christ in word form.
I was blessed to have purchased the entire sermons preached in 2010 and watch the messages on a weekly basis. Therefore you have been very close to my heart and that of my family.
Shalom and till we meet again.
Brother Jeff I am blessed knowing you and your family brother. Keep up the good work.
At this time of parting I wish you comfort, love, peace and strength.

God Bless you and we are thinking about you at this time of your loss.

Brother Lonnie laboured in the Lord's vineyard, and now he's been "gathered to his people". His humility and steadfastness to the ministry of the Word have been inspirational. Looking at our brother's life, one would say, truly, God has had a witness in His people to today, even in Brother Lonnie's life. May the Lord be praised for Brother Lonnie's life; it was a gift to the world - Christian and other. We remember the family and the BC fellowship in prayers.

I sobbed when I came to know he was dead. At the same time I rejoiced when I came to understand he had graduated and had gone to receive his reward.Glory be to god all the same

A wonderful sermon on the supernatural God coming in our day manifesting in a Cloud on Mt Sunset at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre - MALAWI, 1995??

Bro. Lonnie was influential in introducing the Word in a remote village called Chevak, Alaska. I remember the times we had services with Bro. Lonnie in Bro. Andrew's home. I will remember Bro. Lonnie as a true servant of God and always having a smile on his face. Congratulations Bro. Lonnie, now you can truly rest in peace!


My sincere condolences to the Jenkins family.

My hertfelt condolnces on the passing away of brother Lonnie. My the Lord of all comfort comfort you.

I am sorry about the loss of Bro. Lonnie. I remember him as a wonderful teacher and a gentleman. May the Lord wrap his arms of love during this time.

You will be surly missed. May the Lord God comfort your family in their time of need...

Farewell, Bro. Lonnie. You are going to your richly-deserved reward after many decades of faithful service. You will be missed by scores of believers, worldwide. Shalom, dear friend.

On behalf of Gay, Steve and myself, I send condolences to the Betty Lehman family. Though it's been many years since we've seen her, we remember her as a kind person. We lost our mother last month, and know how difficult coping with such a loss during this season can be. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear Tom,Christine and Susan

My deepest sympathy in the passing of your Mother. Betty and I worked in the Ohio University Registrar's Office, Athens, Ohio. In fact I interviewed your Mother and hired her in the position in the Office. Betty was a very efficent worker and a neat writer. She was a quite person and always willing to help anyone in the office. Her family was very important to her and I know you all will miss her greatly.
Love and Prayers to you all.
Dorothy R. Gettle

I am so sorry I didn't hear sooner about your loss. You are very special people and I want you to know I am praying for you and your family.

Dottie Kaiser

My memories: she and I would leave meetings to smoke and laugh. She was a hoot

John, I have also been married a long time.. can't imagine what it is like to be without someone you have spent most of your life with...

Sorry. So Sorry. Have not seen her in awhile, but always thought I would again, she was funny in such a straight way. She made me laugh--which I rarely do. She followed her own rules.. I always liked that about her.

Dear John,

I just learned of Cindy's passing. I am shocked and saddened by this. I look at the beautiful picture of her and it remindes me of all the fun places that we have been together with CANA. The Bayliffs are a CANA tradition every year for as long as I can remember. We both enjoyed bronze art, and have had shared many talks about it. She will be missed.

Kevin Waterston, Minneapolis, MN

John & Family, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you celebrate the life of Cindy. Please know that your friends and family are with all of you during these challenging times.

I can hear her laugh and that will be my memory of her at our Think Tank time together. John and family in my prayers!

Dear John, Val, Becky, Chris, Chris & Barb,

So sorry to have seen this on-line. Thinking of all of you and the many nights i worked with Cindy at SRMC - we worked well together her in charge and me as the aide.
Thank you all so much for the Love that you have shown my family thru the years - including my Dear Mother and one of my best friends on earth -my brother Gene Buchanan. Will certainly be remembering you all at this time.

Tom and I wish to share our sorrow at the loss of your wife, mother, grandmother, and aunt. Your family has always been a great source of comfort during the loss of our family members. It is an extremely sad period of our lives, but the memories of those wonderful family moments make the time pass until "we meet again" in the presence of our Savior. God bless you......

May God comfort you at this time of your life.

I am so sorry to hear of Cindy's passing. Cindy and John have been such a blessing to our family over the years. My mother is not in state this time of year but if she were, she would want to be in Cridersville to pay her respects and say farewell to her step-sister. Cindy and John always made a point to stop and visit my parents each summer when they came north to attend Methodist meetings and camp. After my grandfather, Ralph Blauvelt, passed, Cindy and John opened their home and hearts to us as we mourned our loss. Cindy had a huge heart as evidenced by the number of children whose lives she shared. I know she will be missed and that her step-sisters, Shirley and Nancy will miss her.

John, Valery, Becky and Family,

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am just so thankful that you all made the trip to Florida to do the television commercials. I loved the still shots of Cindy and could tell she really enjoyed herself. Wrap yourselves in the wonderful memories....and know she is always in your hearts so she is never far away.

Our Deepest Sympathy to John & the entire Family of John & Cindy Bayliff !!

Dear Becky and Family:

I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She has touched many lives in her life time and her star will shine bright because of it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sincerely,
Pam Parramore

Who would have guessed that the Tompkins and Huffman families have been together for 60 plus years. Over 35 years ago, I was lucky enough be become part of the extended family. In that time our families have shared a great number of good times as well as bad times. We were always there for each other and we will help your family thru this sad time. New Years Eve will be remembered as her fun holiday. I will miss my good friend.

I'm so sorry John and family. Please know my prayers are with you.

I always viewed Cindy as my "Crazy Aunt" whom I adored. She always set me straight with love. When I met my husband and had kids she was the most supportive!!! Thank you Cindy for all the love you given me. You are in my prayers and especially my heart.

John,

Jared shared the information about Cindy's passing. I wanted to express my sincere sympathy to you and your family. It is never easy to say "good-bye" to the one you have loved for so long. Please know that we will keep you in our prayers.

Marlen

I have so many memories of Cindy from my childhood, she was a second mom to me, whenever i had a problem she always had just the right advice for me . one of many memories have flooded back but one i found in picture was my 16th birthday an becks 15th our moms decided to give us a party together at john an cindy's home along with my parents, cindy made sure it was one that beck an i would never forget, cindy was there in private with me when i loss my mom an i was always grateful for that. mom cindy i will miss you but i know mom is up their in heaven waiting for you sitting around the table with friend an neighbors that we have loss, an i know you will be watching out for all of kids down here .good bye cindy you will always be in my heart.

John

I am sorry to hear of Cindy's passing. i enjoyed seeing both of you and know how much you cared for her. My thoughts are with you.

Randy Schoedinger

My heart is sad, i remember her smile and kindness. My heart and prays go out to all of the family, my dad has a good friend with him in heaven!

Tracy and I were close high school friends. I don't remember if I met her first through working on the yearbook or through Latin Club. I moved to California after graduating and Tracy visited me during a trip to the Rose Bowl. I loved her constant optimism and unfailing loyalty. I was and am stunned by her passing. I know that she had an unyielding devotion to her family. She loved and admired her brother and talked with love about her parents - even when they called her "Gladys". While working for Latin Club, we sold Valentines written in Latin. I think the most appropriate one we sold applies to my feelings about this somber event - "Oscula, oscula; Complexus, complexus" [Kiss, kiss; Hug, hug]
I wish her family the best in this difficult time.

Tony

Today, my co-worker told me Tracy died last week. I work for Sygma and would call Tracy two to three times a week and take her food order for Wendy's. We'd end up talking about other things after we completed the order. I will truly miss hearing her voice. Even though we were connected through business, I felt that she was a great friend to talk to. One time I told her I'd been to Alaska, she said she had taken her nieces/nephews there and, I told her "I hope they treasure that trip."

When Neil Armstron died, I asked her how the mood was up thereg. She said that it was sad and that the Armstrong Air and Space Museum was just across the street.

I always looked forward to talking to her.

To her family, to her co-workers, to her friends, my deepest sympathies in the loss of a wonderful person.

Safe passage, Tracy! I will always remember you, and I will miss you.

your in thought and prayers your family iwas a coworker and friend when iworked there its been along time i had left in 1995 to another job would see her now and then and say hello ... when we see her we would say hi missher in prayers and thoughts to family . sorry i couldnt come so i am signing the book tonight i was shocked when i heard what happen. god bless the jones family Amy , doug , cody and kenny jones.

To the Markley family I'm so sorry for your loss! There are no words to ease the pain fo your loss only memories that will eventually shine through. Tracy and I worked together at Wendy's, she was a Crew Leader and eventually climbed the ladder of success. She was as dedicated to her job as she was to her family,friends, and co-workers. Although we went our seperate ways, I would stop yearly in Celina to see her on my way to Eldora. God Bless!

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Tracy will be missed by all of us who knew and loved her. She was always there for me in times of trouble and sorrow. I wish I could have traveled there to be with you in this sorrowful time but was unable to. Your family are in my prayers.

Eric,
I am so sorry for your loss. It was such a shock to hear this news and you and your family are in our prayers!
Matt, Kathy and Emily Lhamon

I'm so sorry for your loss. Please know we are all thinking of Tracy and praying for the family. She was such a nice loving person. I always told her that she needed to come to the Wendy's office and help me with payroll and she always said no way, you can have that job and that she liked what she did and then we would laugh. Some times we would get on the subject of chickens because my husband, Ron and Eric showed chickens. I think she felt the same about them as I do, I don't want to touch them but I don't mind looking at them and supporting family who loves to show them. She would tell me her stories about the famous wrestlers that she has met and I would tell her mine. She was such a fun person who you knew loved her family especially her nieces. I miss her terribly.

We (Pam) were neighbors growing up. Our thoughts and prayers with the family at this time.--Ron, Pam (Wade), Matthew & Miriam Powell

I remember Tracy as being a very generous and kind-hearted person. All of you can depend on our prayers. Mrs. Ellis.

Fond memories of Gale. Gale was a very beautiful and intelligent girl and I always looked up to her. She was a varstiy cheerleader and I was on reserve. She was a favorite among many because of her kinds ways and smile. May God bless your family during this time. Love, Annette

Thinking of all of you at this diffcult time. Cherish all the great memories that you had with Judy. She was a loving and a person who cared for her family and friends. She made everyone feel comfortable .

Even though I didn't spend as much time with you as I would have liked to I'm still going to miss you and I love you!

Thank you Richard and Cheryl O'Conner. Your kind words bring comfort to us.

We both worked with Charlotte at the old South and Lima Senior. Charlotte was a caring educator and loved her students-even the ones that could drive you a bit crazy! Our condolences to you. Richard and Cheryl O'Connor.

there is not birthday that goes by i do not think of you and currant pie. may you and your son and daughter rest in peace, i miss you all.

I have many fond memories of Clyde while I was growing up. I even had a crush on him when I was a little girl. Thought he was so handsome and nice. Enjoyed visiting with him when I'd return to Lima for a visit. There will always be a special place in my heart for Clyde. My sincere deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends.

I am so sorry for your loss and that I couldn't be there. I am so very glad I was able to see Uncle Clyde earlier this year. Know my heart and prayers are with you Mel and Vernon. Hugs and love to you both.

Mel & Vernon - I'm so very sorry to hear of your dad passing. My heart and prayers are with you. He was always one of my favorites on daddy's side of the family.

May God be your peace and portion as you begin this new chapter of your lives.

I love you both!

Ginny used to live on Edgewood Drive and then Marywood. She also arranged a large block sale for our neighborhood. One thing I will always remember about her was how easy it was to trust her.

I have been thinking about her lately. Now I know why. We want to express on sympathy on her passing. She was truly a nice lady.

As Bert & Brigitte Emick mentioned, Jerry Clum was ahead of his time when it came to videotaping sprint car races. He will never be forgotten at the National Sprint Car Museum in Knoxville, Iowa. RIP, Jerry.

We were so sorry to hear about Jerry's passing. He was always upbeat, looking forward to his next adventure. Jerry was very instrumental in starting the Midwest Outlaw Super Series which became the All Star Circuit of Champions. His knowledge of racing and great videos made him one of the unsung heroes in racing. He survived many trials with Carol and his family by his side. We will miss Jerry a lot, but we know he is in a better place, with no illness and no pain. God bless Carol and the whole family.

Your friends always,
Bert and Brigitte

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel about Jerry's passing. Some of my fondest memories of Jerry include his hearty laugh, his broad smile, and his ability to tell endless stories and jokes. Jerry was like an Uncle to me and I will miss him dearly. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you: Carol, Jerry Jr., Bryan, Chad, Peggy, Wally, and family.

My deepest sympathy to the Clum family. I grew up next door to the Boughan family on South Central Ave in Lima. My dad and mom were Bill and Martha Dahill. Seeing Jerry's obit on line today took me to his site and book. I wanted to take this moment to let your family how much I enjoyed a look back to the 50's and 60's, and the reminder of our special neighbors, the Boughan family.

I am sorry for your loss and hope the many memories Jerry left you eases the hurt in your heart. Thank you for making his story available.

Respectfully,
Diana Dahill

SINCERE SYMPATHY PEGGY AND WALLY IN THE PASSING OF YOUR BROTHER. I DID NOT KNOW HIM, BUT HIS WIFE, CAROL, WAS A FRIEND OF MINE FROM GROWING UP TOGETHER AND GOING TO SCHOOL TOGETHER, STEVE BENNINGTON, I ALSO KNEW STEVE'S PARENTS. I AM SO VERY SORRY TO HEAR THAT JERRY PASSED AWAY, BUT IT DOES SOUND AS IF HE LIVED A GOOD LIFE AND HE, LIKE ME, LIVES ONE DAY AT A TIME AND TO THE FULLEST. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

I will miss you Corky (Jerry) You will always be Corky to me! Heaven has just recieved one very special angel. You were always the strength of all of our family gatherings and you have left a huge hole in the hearts of all of us.

Peggy and Wally
My deepest symapthy for your loss. My prayers for you and your family.

I did not know Terry long and I cannot say we were close, but in the months I cared for Terry and his home he and I got to know each other. It was such an honor to know him as he was a great man. Very kind and attentive to others. I am grateful for the time I was able to spend with him and for your loss I am deeply sorry. He will be missed and may God bless the family and friends that will miss him.

Kurt will be greatly missed. He was more than a resident of our home.... he was family. We all have great memories spent with him over the years. He had a great sense of humor and we shared many laughs. I believe it was like 13 years that we worked together- Bowling for Big Brother's Big Sisters. What fun we had! It brings joy to my heart knowing that he no longer has any limitations in heaven he is free to do all the things that he was never able to do here on earth, even though his limitations here never kept him from living a full life or from enjoying what he had! Heaven gained an angel and we lost a friend.... God speed Kurt! Say hello to a few people up there for us!

My memory of Kurt was when our Aktion club sold Pizzas,subs and burritos,
The first time we did that he sold the most and got an award,for selling,
The most and when he got it he smiled from ear to ear he was on cloud 9.
And the one time he was bowling and he got a strike and he smiled,
Then too OurAktion club will miss him very much and to All,
His Family we are very sorry for the loss of Kurt.
Love
Amy M Morrissey

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family during these difficult days.
May God bless you with renewed hope, comfort and peace.
Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

i really enjoyed taking care if kurt he could be a pain some times but aint we all loved joking around with him he could realy make things fun my patuna rip my friend u will be missed by sooooo many

Kurt will never be forgotten!! I have known him since I was about 9 yrs old (am now 31). He was always someone I made sure to say hello to while working, volunteering or visiting Briarwood!

I know you are resting in Jesus' arms and that gives me comfort to know this. I will miss you with all my heart, when you left you took a piece with you. Until we meet again I just want you to know, that I am a better person because of you. I can't wait to see you again, may you be a greeter when I pass through the pearlie gates!! Until we meet again...I love you my friend!!!!
All my love,
Laura Ripberger

Would like to offer my sympathy to the family of Nadine. The Perry family were the first neighbors I remember when my family moved to W.Wayne St. in 1945. Lots of memories there. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry about the loss of your mother and brother. So many years have passed and yet I think of you from time to time. It must be hard to have lost 2 family members especially at this time of the year. Wishing you well. I am on facebook if you ever care to look me up. Karen

My sincere sympathy on the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful lady.

Aunt Jenny I love and miss you we had alot of good times together Jeffrey Maag

Sis you left us to early. you will truly be missed by your family and friends. The fun we had bowling, and joking around. but mostly you will be missed by your 3 boys who all shared your thrill of bowling and having fun. Miss you dearly

I will always remember when she had me ride her horse bareback for the first time. She was my hope in this world.

As soon as i met my Aunt nancy i knew she was the perfect freind for me and that i would love her for ever and that she would love me forever we shared maost things in common as she did with most i fell sorry for all my family mostly uncle bill love you all

So saddened that Nancy left this world so early, but surely she will light up heaven and not have to experience anymore pain. She was so very intelligent, kind, sweet, and had a great love for animals (especially horses). She will be missed. May God bless her and help her family through this sad time. Linda and Don

I always enjoyed chit - chatting with Nancy when she got to be the "parts go-fer" and came over to see me !!

I'm sure you will certainly miss your friend, but just remember that she will be waiting to laugh with you again.

Be Strong,

Joyce , from Coles

Dear Norm (Bill)

The first time I ever met Nancy, I was delivering auto Parts. And I couldn"t have met a finer person. SHe hd a attitude that cn only be evvied, and maybe even followed.
A free sprit tht seeming was in control. And made people fell as comfortable as they wanted, maybe not deserve, but still recievd anyway. When I needed help at the dealer's, and the he-men could not be bothered. Nancy ws the first to help.. free flowing wonder of a woman, whose only downfall was to be cncer.

She was taken from us, all to sudden, and also from, norm, whose tough guy routone, was differnt when dealing with Nancy.
I am sorry for your loss Norm, and in passing, ours s well.

May God see her often, and may we lern from the free flowing Nancy leaft us all behind.




Good luck Norm, sorry for your loss.

AS ever a friend

Nick J. Dulemb ( of old G.P.D.)

Bill,
To you and your family I'm so sorry for your loss, It's been a long time since I've seen or talked to you, but I still remember the days on OAK ST. Lots of good times and memories that won't be forgotten.
Sorry I was never real good with words.

Norm, We are so sorry for your loss. We will always be thankful that you and Nancy were there for Evan while he was in college at UNOH. Evan always referred to Nancy as his "Second Mom" and we appreciate everything that both of you did to help him get through his classes. We will continue to remember you in our prayers and remember Nancy as one of the many blessings that the Lord has given to us. Thank you again. Valerie & Mark Schrote

Dear Bill....I am so sorry about your loss. I was in a bowling league with Nancy one year and she was such a pleasure to be around. Thinking of you ....and remembering Nancy. Jenny Ehora Roy

To the Lehman Family; I send my condolences and prayers to you all. Margery was such a lot of fun and a dear friend. The stories I could tell about our nineteen years of being Communion Stewards! You would love them too. Oh how I long for just one more happy visit together. This we know, "Thy Will be Done" and to know that "Thy Will" is a good and gracious will in the present hour. We love you dear! Ruth Reddersen

So sorry I didn't make it to the funeral home. Love and prayers for you all.

Robert Nimmons was my father's (Wing Kong Chong) Miami University classmate and a long time family friend. Whenever our family went to Ohio, my father always made it a point to visit him and Dorothy in Wapakoneta. My brother, sister, and I would always enjoy playing the player piano in the basement using the pedals. I remember when they came to visit us in Hilo, Hawaii, and my father and I drove them around to see the sights.
I was fortunate to have seen him last summer when I attended my 40th class reunion at Miami. I had just missed Eva Jean the day I visited him. I took a picture of the stained glass cross in his room when I was there.
Our family will always have fond memories of times spent with him in Ohio and Hawaii and the times we stayed at his home.
We want his family to know that we will always remember his kindness and his warm smile whenever we saw him and hope that someday they can visit us in Hawaii so that we can share our aloha with them.

Deepest sympathies Debbie and family for the loss of your beloved Dad. May you find peace and comfort knowing that you did so much for him.

I would like to extend my condolences to your family. I knew Bob through the First United Methodist Church of Wapak. He was a kind man and will be missed. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Bob was one of the nicest men I knew. He was gracious and kind. He shared his stained glass work with all of us. He will continue to be a great memory for me.YP6

I would like to extend my condolences to the family of Robert Nimmons. Let your hearts be lighted with the fond memories and good times you shared with your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Keep those memories in your heart and he will always be a part of your life.

To the family of my dear friend, and bingo buddy go all of my love, thoughts and prayers. Maureen was and will always be special to me and I shall miss her. Take good care of Jimmy. Love Rae

I am very sorry for your family's loss. The several conversations I had with "Grandma" Coyle were quite special. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for allowing me to care for Maureen and meet your family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Best wishes to you in the coming days and beyond.

I am sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a fantastic person who always brought a smile to my face. Over the last couple of years I enjoyed taking care of her and she will truly be missed.

Danielle and Melissa,

Pammy

Danny , Brian and Melissa

Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Your wife and mother certainly leaves memories to many people that have been in her life. She was a wonderful lady to have known, kind, lovlng and always had a smile on her face. God Bless all of you in her passing.

Remember your parents both quite well as they were part of the fun with the Paul and Doris Neeper family. Loved visiting with Fern and Willard. Now they can all have a great reunion in the sky.

Brent & Mindy.....My thoughts are with you.

My Dad was one of the most wonderful men I have ever known. Ever protective, ever guiding with patience and calm wisdom. Dad never told me I couldn't do something just because I was a girl and he encouraged and supported every event I took part in growing up. He cheered the loudest at soccer games and Karisma swing choir concerts alike. He traveled to choir competitions and never missed a ballet recital. I miss him every single day and would have given anything for him to have been healthy and able to walk me down the aisle. To get to know my husband and meet my children. I hope he's watching over us and that he's proud. Heaven knows I am beyond proud to have been his daughter. I love you Dad.

I was in Basic Training in San Antonio Texas in 1973 with Tom and 58 other airmen. In fact, when I got sick in Basic he took my place as squad leader. Following that, we were in language school together in Monterey California and both caught the end of the Viet Nam War. I havent talked with him in all these years but googled him for a chance to touch base and was surprised to find his obit. He was bright and had vitality...and 59 is just too young to have died. Sorry we didnt connect, Buddy. Blessings on his family!

My prayers are with all of the Emrick family and our children Laura and Ryan. God has a plan in all things. Let us pray that soon and come each of our time to go we will be united in Paradise.
Difficulties did not seem to escape us Tom but in the end we were the best of friends and found love again in that friendship. I know you are with God. Watch over all of us and we muddle through this earthly life and send us Light from Heaven to guide us Home.

Marcia, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. I will be praying for your strength to endure the path you are about to travel. (this is Denny and Joyce Brown's daughter) May you find peace in your memories.

Thinking of you,

Becky

Marcia, my thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of need. My deepest sympathy. Karen

Marcia-My deepest sympathies to you and your family. May God be with you, bless you, and be with you and your family at this time of need.

I have known Sue for many years, meeting her for the first time at L.C.I.where we both worked. I remember many laughs we had together and talks about family. She was an amazing person and I will miss her. Love you Suzanne

What a touching beautiful service! Sue would have loved it! She's Smiling down with Great Happiness!

Suzi and I were great friends for years. I have tred to locate her from some years but lost her last name. It saddens me at her passing. I was shocked that she had lost Tony. As young teens were were at each other's houses all the times. One year we bought outfits alike. She always looked better than me in hers. All her life she loved motorcycles. She will always be young and healthy in my mind. I am so sorry for your loss. I have been in Fl over 20 yrs. but often come back to Lima for the Holidays. I am praying for you.

One can not remember or describe Sue without using the following words: sweet, compassionate, caring, giving, fun loving and most of all.....one of the most unselfish people that you'd ever meet. She loved riding with the Harley Group and teasing us about all of our stops for ice cream. We will miss her laughter and the joy that she gave to all of us. Fair winds and safe journey Sue!

We have only known Sue and Rick for a few years, but she was a very kind and friendly person, Sue always made you smile and was great fun to be around. Ourprayers are she is now at rest and having a blast with her son. Our condolences Rick

I worked with Sue and Rick at lima Correctional Institution, Sue was a very active person. You would almost have to run to keep up with her on the medical rounds. My sympathies to Rick and the family. Terry

Sue was a kind, caring, and compassionate person. She always thought of others over herself. You could not ask for a more loyal friend. We will miss her smile and laughter. Sue always brightened up the room where ever she was. We will always cherish the time we spent with you.

"Friends open their Hearts, Share their lives, care Forever."

Sue was one of our dearest friends. She was a true friend that we could count on any time day or night. When our brother was batteling cancer during the same time. Sue went above and beyond to try and comfort our family. My feet wouldnt even hit the floor every morning and Sue was texting me wanting to know how Ronnie was doing. She sent him many cards, called him while in the hospital and visited him even though she was as sick as he was. Sue was a very loving person and if you were her friend there wasn't anything that she wouldn't do for you. There will never be another one like you, Sue. We will miss you. You may be gone from our lives. But you will live forever in our memories and our hearts. We Love You Girl!

I would like to express my sympathy to Cheryl's family....I went to high school with her and remember her well...I want you to know that I will be praying that God will bring comfort to your hearts....

So sweet. You had a smile on your face to the very end. May God be with your family at this time.

PRAYING FOR SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBERS. KNOWING THAT YOUR LOVED ONE IS HOME WITH OUR LORD..BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL

I remember meeting Grandma Bea and Grandpa Gordon when I was 16 years old (now am 53 yrs) down in Wapakoneta - Grandma Bea really made me feel welcome and loved and it was just the first tme she meet me. Both Bea and Gordon were very loving people. There will always be a special place in my heart for Grandma Bea, as well as Grandpa Gordon. Its like if you think of Grandma Bea, you automatically think of Grandpa Gordon. They were a very very sweet couple.

While I am very saddened Bea has passed, it makes my heart happy to think of Bea and Gordon as reunited - what a homecoming that would be.

Peace of Christ to the entire family.

I got to be friendly with Bea over the last year or so. My mom was at Otterbein Cridersville also. Bea loved doing puzzles. I sat several times with her over the past year workig a puzzle with her. My thoughts and prayers go to her family. I lost my mom the 4th of September.

Stoney and Gina,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this hour. I only met Jeremy once but he had the same continuous positive spirit that you have. That's what makes this so difficult to comprehend. Suffice it to say, we are hear for you. God Speed.

We love you Uncle Bob, Aunt Suzy, John and Jason. Our hearts and prayers go out to you. May happy memories of Jeremy, and God's peace bring you all healing. He will be greatly missed~ Hugs to all of you~

I would just like to say how sorry I am for your lose. All three of my children had him as a teacher.... Very one of them loved him and enjoyed his class. Devon wanted to come to the services , but he did not do well when he lost his grandpal. I know Devon just does not know what to think about this at all .. He is in the 6th grade this year. I just want you to know that he does think about him every day and talks about him too. My thoughts and prayers are with you all !!

I use to live in Shawnee Meadows and my Dad still resides there, he always spoke very highly of Jeremy he was such a good guy and a great paper boy. When I read that he had been with the Lima News for 20+ years wow what a dedicated man. I am so sorry for your loss and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Such a tradgedy to such a wonderful caring family. Heidi Reed

I met Jeremy when we were both servers at The Old Barn Out Back, during his college days, 11 years ago. I worked there part-time, as I was teaching at Edison Elementary School, and recall having several conversations with him about teaching. My biggest memory with Jeremy, was his LOVE for the Green Bay Packers. We had many a "difference" discussions about Green Bay and any other team they played...I have ALWAYS smiled everytime I changed the channel when Green Bay was playing, because I knew Jeremy LOVED that team. I will continue to smile, at every Green Bay game, in loving memory of the great guy I had the privilege of knowing, Jeremy Winegardner. As a parent that, just 2 years ago, lost a 21 year old son the same way, my heart goes out to your loss, and to Jason, who I also worked with at The Old Barn, and to Lisa. May God bless you all, and may you all find peace and comfort.

I chose a green candle, with the yellow glow of the flame, in tribute to the Green Bay Packers in honor of Jeremy.

My deepest sympathy for your family. Mr. Winegardner was my son's homeroom and Math teacher last year. He has had such a positive impact on my son and he will be greatly missed.

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Winegardner. He was a wonderful teacher who my daughter had the pleasure of being taught by,he was always so patient and kind when she needed help. He will be greatly missed by many and remembered by all the lives he touched. May God be with you all at this very difficult time.

My Prayers and thoughts to the family.

Susan and Robert - I hope you remember me - I graduated with you and attended Washington-McKinley. I am currently a school bus driver at Bath Schools and I drove several game trips with Jeremy and his team.

On one trip, I asked Jeremy if Susan and Robert were his parents and when he said yes, I told him I had graduated with you.

I just want to express my sympathy to you and your family. My heart is so sad for what you are going through now. I am so sorry.

Judy Bechtel

My condolences for the community and all the students impacted. I pray for healing and wholeness for the family, the teams, friends, coworkers, and student body.

Jeremy was our dedicated paper carrier in Shawnee Meadows for 20 years.Sympathy go out to his family and friends. God Bless you all.

Jeremy was our Newspaper carrier for almost 22 years. My Husband would make it a point to try to beat him to the mail box in the morning. He was always so nice and always seemed upbeat with a smile on his face. Once my Husband found out about the wild horses that Jason used to visit in his off time from teaching in the summer that just gave him more to talk about! We were so very saddened by the turn of events. I always made it a point to send to Jason a Christmas card with a check in it for Chirstmas; not much but we wanted him to know how much we appreciated his dedecation to the paper route in addition to his Teaching and Coaching. We will miss Jeremy. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are certainly with you.

I WAS SO SURPRISED TO HEAR ABOUT THE PASSING OF A GREAT TEACHER FROM BATH. MY DAUGHTER HAD JEREMY FOR FIFTH GRADE & ABSOLUTELY LOVED HIS CLASS. THRU HIS CLASS SHE LEARNED HE WORKED HIS SUMMERS IN THE OUTER BANKS DOING WILD HORSE TOURS. WHEN SHE FOUND OUT WE WERE VACATIONING THERE A COUPLE YEARS AGO SHE WENT BACK & ASKED JEREMY WHERE IT WAS & WOULD HE BE OUR GUIDE. WE DID GO & THE DAY OUR TOUR WAS SCHEDULED HE WASN'T SUPPOSE TO BE WORKING BUT WHEN HE FOUND OUT IT WAS OUR FAMILY HE CAME TO WORK TO DO THE TOUR. WE HAD A SUPER DAY WITH HIM ON VACATION. HE WILL BE SADLY MISSED BY BOTH MY DAUGHTER & MY SON. OUR THOUGHTS & PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU & YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY.

We send our condolences to the entire family and friends. Mr.Winegardner will be missed by all. I have 4 grandchildren at Bath and all have had the pleasure to have him as a teacher. My 5th grade grandson had him for homeroom and 1st period Math this year. He is taking it very hard. Jeremy made a positive impact on each and everyone of my 4 grandchildren. Our two sons are very good friends with John and if Jeremy was like him we know he was very special person. My husband grew up just around the corner from you, Bob ( Jim Iiames). You also delivered Emmy Iiames newspaper. We truly appreciate waht you did for us at the time of her death.

Jeremy's support and friendship will be missed. My deepest sympathies to his friends and family.

I am sincerely sorry for your loss. Your family is my thoughts and prayers and I hope that God will comfort you during this difficult time.

As a parents of several of the Columbus Grove Girls Basketball team, we send our deepest sympathy to your family. You have been and will continue to be in our family's prayers. Our 3 daughters Rachael, Nicole and Samantha truly enjoyed every minute they shared with "Tubby" as they called him. The team will carry his memory with them this year. He was always positive, upbeat and encouraging. He will be missed by the Grove community.

I send my condolences to the whole family and friends. Mr.Winegardner will be missed by all. I have 5 children at Bath and all but my youngest has had the pleasure to have him as a teacher. My son who is now in 6th grade I think will miss him the most. He has been involved with his soccer team this year. Being a ball boy and traveling to the crew game with the team are some memories that I know will always stay with my son. But one that will stay close to his heart is that special time each day that Mr.Winegardner stepped out of his room to sat hello and encourage my son each day. He has made an impact on each and everyone of my 5 children and my husband and I throughout the years. Mr.Whiney we will miss you greatly!

Our thoughts & prayers are with your family. Although there are no 'right' words to say, but may God wrap his arms around you & help you through this time. God Bless!!

to the Winegardner family:
Your family is in our prayers and thoughts.
rain or shine, Jeremy delivered our paper :)
great guy...
sincerely,
the Adams family- Shawnee Meadows

A wonderful friend whom I have know for a long time. An honest and caring man who I will miss. God speed Jeremy,and thank you for the wonderful memories. Love you Sandy

To the entire Winegardner family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I know there is nothing I can say to ease the pain, but please know that Jeremy will be remembered fondly. He was my daughter's favorite teacher for 2 years and I had the pleasure of getting to know him very well over the course of those 2 years. My daughter loved him so much even as a 7th grader this year she made it a point to go down and speak with him at least twice a week and she always had glowing things to say about him and their time together.

Jeremy will be forever in our hearts!!!!

--Beth Edwards and Haylee Fleming

I only had the privilege of coaching with Jeremy for one season, but I experienced a well organized, passionate coach. I can remember his emphasis on being competitive and doing your best. "I don't care if our team is competing in the district final or if I'm playing checkers against grandma; my goal is always to win!" I will miss his passion, charisma and playful spirit...

Susan and Bob

I'm so sorry for you loss. It's been a long time but I remember all the fun we had when our kids were young and played sports together and the good times we shared even after the games. Your in my thoughts and prayers.

Pat

Hi Bob and Susan,

So sorry to read about your loss. We will keep all of you in our prayers.

Jim and Sue Powell

Jeremy and I were great friends growing up. Always out riding bikes and building new trails through the woods.

He will be forever missed.

I enjoyed teaching with Jeremy. His enthusiasm and passion for teaching were evident from the beginning. He will be missed but will always be remembered.

Stephanie, I am so sorry to hear about Mark. He was such a nice guy. I am planning to come and see you tomorrow. Love,Sally

Louetta;
I don't know if you quite remember me or not, but I had worked at the Huntington Bank for 17 years when my husband and I had to move to Indiana. I did not know if you were in the Cridersville area any more, but had wondered how you were doing. I remember so plainly when Mike died many years ago while he was so young. I remember you telling me about one of your sons having cancer but I don't think Mark was the one you were talking about. I am so sorry for your loss of your sons. One thing for sure, we do have hope in the resurection and we have a loving God that reunite us with our loved ones. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. God Bless you.

My mother and I wish to express our sincere condolences to Laura's family. My mother was an 1937 Arcadia classmate and kept up on Laura's activites through Olive Wiseley and other classmates. It has been with deep sadness that my mother, Arabelle, learned of the passing of both Olive and Laura within the same week. Both were wonderful Christian ladies and will be missed by all. One of my fondest memories of Laura was when she hosted the 1937 class out in Colorado back around 1988 I think! Everone had a marvelous time! I was the designated gopher! It was great fun to watch all of them go down memory lane. May God bless you and your family!

Arabelle and Darlene Dawson

I was sorry to read of Mrs. Clymer's passing. She was a teacher at Buckland when I was in grade school there. Although I never had her as a teacher, I remember her well. My sympathy and prayers to her family and loved ones.

Laura was so dear to me. She was a mentor and a mother to me. She was a great Christian lady and I miss her so much.
Laura and I liked to go out for lunch and shop.
Every year her and I would set up her Christmas tree. I would hang up all her precious little ornaments. So of these dated back to her childhood. My favorite was her "mississippi baby" . He was a little cloth Santa a friend from Mississippi sent her as a baby.
One of my favorite memories with Laura was our trip to Celestial Seasonings in Boulder. She was just so cute and funny that day. She wanted real Iced-tea/
I said 'Laura, this place has herbal teas". She said" well, its a tea place isn't it?'
So a nice lady went to go make her tea.
My favorite Laura saying "by governor, thats expensive"
I love you Laura, I'll be seeing you.
LeeAnn

To all the clymers

My dear wonderful, loving mother was an exceptional person. Her love for us kids, and God were unmeasurable. She lived her life for her family and lived by strict values and created memories deeply embedded in all who knew her. I can close my eyes and see her cooking, canning, sewing, and gardening to provide a great life for her family and friends. Our childhood was endearing, I have a huge void in my heart without her on earth but find comfort that she will live eternally with God and my wonderful Daddy who has been patiently awaiting her arrival in heaven. I am sure Daddy has a campfire all warmed up for her to sit in his lap and arms. I have no doubt they will be awaiting our arrival when our time comes. Thank you Mommy for being the best you could be. I love you so!!!!

Your middle child,
Janet

Dear Lammers Family, I have very fond memories of your mother as she used to be our day care provider when we were younger and lived on Elm Street. The obit in the paper is a wonder testimony of her life. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

I was one of those 35 children. Judy your mother will always be a good memory for me. She was kind, caring and the best cook. Paul tell us in Ecclesiastes 3:1 "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven" your mother had a long season here and she glorified with her giving. Blessings to you and your family.

Judi and family,

Butch and family, so sorry for your loss. Ellinor was a "special" lady, as you all know. You will be in my prayers.

I met Jim on my first out of town assignment as a brand new fireman working with an engineer who was who not exactly available. Jim and I talked quite some time about locomotive operations while waiting for the engineer to arrive. When he did not arrive, Jim helped me move the engine from the dock to the depot so as not to delay the job. A night in Lima I'll never forget.

For you Biddy & Family...sorry for your loss!!!

I have lost Heaven has gained,
The most wonderful Grandpa this world contained,
There's just one thing makes me glad,
God chose tou to be my Grandad.

Heavenly Father, hear my prayer,
Guide my Grandpa with tender care,
Love him in heaven as I did at home
The dearest Granpa this world could hold.

A ton of beautiful memories, dearer than gold,
Of a grandpa whose worth can never be told,
There's a place in my heart no one can fill,
I miss you, Grandpa, and always will.

AND YOU KNOW THE WATER & OIL ON THAT CAR IN HEAVEN BETTER BE FULL OR SOMEONE WILL HEAR ABOUT IT FOR SURE!!!

Praying for you!!!

I knew then how much he meant to his family, especially his wonderful daughter Vickie Bidwell. I sincerely express my sympathy to his family and friends. Vickie...you are in my thoughts & prayers.

I will miss him and send my condolences to the family. He will be sadly missed by the employees of Emerson Climate Technologies.

I had the opportunity of meeting David several years ago. I enjoyed talking to him weekly and really enjoyed his interest in the Air Force Museum. I am deeply saddened of reading of his passing as I haven't seen him for some time and wondered how he was doing. I am very sorry about your loss.

Dave was the most caring, gentle, loving man I have ever met in my life. I will miss our little chats, saying "Hi" while getting our mail. You will be greatly missed by Jerry & I as well as many others. I take solace in knowing you are walking with the Lord, pain free. Until later my dear friend, until later.

Love you,
Dottie & Jerry

When David left Emerson we were deeply worried about his well being. Many times him and I would joke about who would walk out first and find his fortune. I am saddend by this news and hope David has found a peace he always seemed to be searching for.

I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MAY YOU FIND PEACE IN YOUR HEARTS.

I was sad to hear of her passing. My dad would call me and keep informed. I'm glad he got to see her before it was too late. I love you grandma and I know you are with me when ineed you.

I will always remember you as a beautiful young lady-full of life and laughter. Your beauty has always been more about your personality, making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. I have always loved you even though we have not been able to see each other to much in the past few years. Not for any real reason except life passes by so quickly. Say hi to grandpa and grandma, I miss them so much. God be with you-when thinking of you I wll always think of that twinkle in your eyes.

It is sad to see our loved ones die but I find very conforting what God's word the Bible speaks of in John 5:28,29. ''...all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out...''

For Dawn, Laurie, and Leslie:

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave bereft
I am not there. I have not left.

Mary Elizabeth Frye

Laurie, I was so sorry to see that your dad passed away. I never got to tell you that I was helping in therapy one day at Lima Con and had the opportunity to work with him. I finished my session with him and then looked at the pictures on his wall and asked, "why do you have a picture of Joe and Laurie Martino on your wall?" and he told me you were his daughter. We had a nice little chat about you afterwards, I of course told him I was Joe's cousin. He was a nice man and I'm sure there will be a huge void in your life with his passing. Thinking of you. Love, Marianne

I've known Eldon for many years and even was able to work with him at D-J motor sales in Lima-
I remember he would buy the scratch off lottery tickets and predict the winner by "the feel of the money" he was so convinced on which one was the winner he would bet me the value of the lowest winning amount- he usually won-
He talked about his family as "the gift from God as they are"-
Eldon My Friend you will be Missed!
My thoughts and Prayers are with you and yours.
God Bless you all

To Dawn, Laurie and Leslie....

Marty Manger

Ed, your family is in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you strength in these hard times.

So sorry to hear about this tragedy that has come to your family. Duane & I had classes together as young kids at Cridersville & rode the bus together. We hung out as a group of friends in high school (Shay Finn, Kristin Jordan, Desa Craft & others) and always had a great time. I recall times swimming in the pond & just laughing & having fun. I haven't known Duane as a grown man yet the love of friends transcends time. I envelope you in prayer.
With all sincerity,
Caroline (Phillips) Strzesysnki

Wez you wer honestly like a brother to me. True family. I love and miss you brother!

Duane and I had played Football together for the Cridersville Rams. I can remember the great times we had together on the field and off the field. These memories I have kept with me my entire life. I met up with him later in life when we were grown men and he was always great to talk to. I had been at a wedding with Coach Joe Bailey when he told me about the news. I was in complete shock and I still am. My prayers will be with the family as they battle with this tragic loss. May God hold you in the palm of his hand and keep you close to his heart. Trust in the Lord your God to find strength during this most difficult time.

Yours in thought and prayer
Zac Fonner
Cridersville Rams 1987-1989 #89

Mickie, Ed and Garrett, I have many great memories of Duane, he was an amazing man, devoted father and a wonderful friend! Always there when someone need him, an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, and even just a smile to pick you up when you were feeling blue. I want say it was a great pleasure of mine to have gotten to know him and to have met some of his wonderful family and friends! He was loved and will be dearly missed! Your family are in my thoughts and prayers in this time of need and always!

My heartfelt sympathy to the family. God Bless

I am so sorry for your loss. It has been a long time but will never be forgotten. Your family played a big part in making great childhood memories& I have held them close always. My family & I in Michigan, as well as my family in Ohio will keep you in our thoughts and prayers and hope God watches over you all a little extra for as long as you need. Sincerest condolences,
Kerri Newland

Mickie, Ed, and Marlene. I only have a few words, but my thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family ever since I heard his name. Please know God has his reasons, and someday we may find answers. I am out of town, just wanted you to know how very sorry I am for your loss. Dorance "74"

Elisha,
I am almost at a loss for words to express myself at this most difficult time for you and your family. It is so hard to lose someone unexpectedly. I am so sorry you and your family are going through this. I didn't know Duane well, but it seems like just yesterday that he brought Garrett to our preschool center. He was such a young hadsome dad and I know you all must have many good memories of him as son, brother, dad and uncle.

I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers. I hope you will all be comforted by the love and prayers of everyone. Please take care of yourself and each other.

Dale, Juanita, and all family of Marian --

I was so saddened to read about Marian's passing. I've wanted to call her for months but it was so hard for her to hear properly on the phone. I was hoping to see her in person when I got back to Lima for doctor appointments; unfortunately I haven't been back to Lima since Sept. 2010, and now its too late.

She was a very kind,sweet lady and I enjoyed her friendship and our little talks those months while I was in Lima taking care of Melvena.
Please accept my condolences and take comfort in knowing she is in a better place and not in any pain and no worries. I'm sure she, other family members that have gone before her and Melvena are reliving old times.

She will be missed.


Judy - Akron OH

Love you sissy bubby will miss you very much but will see you again in the future

Evelyn was a wonderful person. She was a great friend to my grandmother Sally Williams. Sally was a widow for decades and Evelyn called her every single day. A very sweet lady.

Evelyn, you said I would have nothing to do when you're gone. While, I will still be busy, I already feel the void since your passing. Rest in peace, Love Karen

My heart goes out to all of Clara Belles family. I have fond memories of Clara Belle and Richard and Roger. Our Mothers were sisters and we spendt many times visiting and laughing. Clara sure liked to laugh. I just wish I could attend the service and pay my respects to all of ya. I am still working up here east of Cleveland and cannot get off to come down. My heart is with you all . I had hoped to spend time visiting with Clara and looking at old family pictures. We were gonna share memories and remember our Mothers. I will miss Clara Belle.

We are very saddened by the loss of our beloved aunt Phyllis, and so soon after we lost her brother, Roland, here in Georgia. Our sympathy and condolences go out to Phyllis' wonderful family and grandchildren and greats and great-greats, and to the rest of the Schaffner clan. We hope to see you all at the reunion and Roland's memorial service on August 4. Love and best wishes from Wade Marbaugh, Carmilla Marbaugh and Lyn (Marbaugh) Powell and our families.

Anne and I will miss Tony beyond words. We will do our best to keep our yard looking as nice as his yard was always ! Tony's sense of humor was incredible ! Anne and I visited with him in February at St. Rita's Hospital and he always had a one liner.

When we were visiting and heard he was being released from the hospital then, Anne "texted" my Mom and she replied he would miss the cute nurses and without a pause, he said " I didn't see any". I also told one of the nurses, he never lost his sense of humor during his stay and he replied " That's true, but I have lost all my other senses". I learned alot about humor and sarcasm from my Father-in-law. He will be forever missed.

Terry Johnson

So sorry to hear about Mr. Raesky's passing. I can still picture him smiling and working in the yard which would win the neighborhood award if we'd had a contest! We had lots of good times with the girls growing up. I believe he will watch over you all with love and always be close in spirit. Daddy can show him the best view! Know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Mary Lynne & Doug

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Mr. Raesky was always so kind to all of us kids on New Haven. I have many fond memories of kickball games in your yard with all the neighborhood kids. He was always working around in the evenings, but I never remember him telling us to go home, even on those long summer evenings when the sun didn't go down until so late. Know that your family is in our prayers as you deal with your loss of such a lovely man.

Our family was so sorry to hear of Ton'ys passing. We have some wonderful memories of neighboring on New Haven when all the kids were going to school together. Love and prayers for all.

Linda and Bill Harris

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. He was a wonderful man and always on the go. Where did he get all that energy? I remember him always working in your yard...you had the BEST yard on the block! He did a great job ! Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and may you find comfort that he and Dad are probably sharing stories and looking down over us with a smile :)

Love you all
Janine and Gary

Dorothy, Our thoughts are with you and the girls.
Steve & Tammy

I am very saddend to hear about Uncle Tony's pasing. My thoughts & prayers are with each of you through this difficult time. I will try to see you on Friday, it's been a long time. Know that I am thinking of you.

Words cannot take away the grief you and your family are feeling.
Hopefully, Just knowing that others care will be comforting.
Distance keeps me from being with you and sharing your sorrow.
All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
God is good...his mercy is everlasting...He will see you all through this.
Lots of love and hugs.

Love,
Susan Beth

My condolences to the Giambruno family.
I am saddened to learn of his passing.
I still miss seeing him and Betty in Lake Placid at various events, on the street or when going into the Country Store was a delightful experience...I used to take my Dad and Mom in there when they were visiting and it would make my Dad's day to see all the quality clothes and accessories and to have an interaction with Sig. He would always have something to say in his singular style that would have us laughing as we left. I still have some of the clothes from the shop that Betty would always help me figure out was right for me! :-)
..may Sig rest in peace.

Pat, Mary and family,
So sorry to hear about your father. We will keep you in our prayers. We are sure he will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.
Chris, and Lisa Hays

My prayers are with your family, Mary. I am sad to hear of your dad's passing, but happy he is no longer suffering. May the peace and joy of Christ's resurrection be with you and your family!

As Director of Conciliation at the NYS Public Employment Relations Board (PERB), I think I can speak for everyone here at the agency, and anyone who got to know Sig during his sojourns throughout the North Country as a mediator and fact finder in public sector bargaining disputes, in saying that we are deeply saddened to learn of his passing. The relatively sparsely populated northern Adirondacks are not blessed with an abundance of experts in collective bargaining and labor-management relations, so Sig for many years was my "go to" guy in that area when I needed a neutral to get contract negotiations back on track between a school district or municipality and the unions representing their employees. The combination of Sig's professional expertise, congenial personality and sense of humor so often proved to be the key to bringing the parties together, and we missed him greatly when he left Lake Placid to be with family in Ohio.
On a personal note, I loved the clothing store Sig operated in Lake Placid, and often frequented it during visits with my in-laws who lived in nearby Saranac Lake. I remember one time spotting a peculiar rack of ties, all of which were emblazoned with a repetitive trailer home pattern. Sig yelled out to me: "You like that tie? Hell...you can take it...and while you're at it take the other hundred of them that are in that big box on the floor!" Seems that a trailer convention had come to town the week before, and Sig thought he'd make a killing with these ties. What he didn't know was that it was an Airstream convention, and that Airstream devotees apparently regard non-Airstream trailer owners the way Red Sox Nation feels about Yankees Universe. Sig's ties, unfortunately, looked like Winnebagos, and he sold not a one! Good thing for me that he was a better mediator than he was a businessman! Rest in peace, Sig, and sincere condolences to the entire family.

I WANT TO EXPRESS MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF SIGMUND GIAMBRUNO, AN OLD FRIEND.
SIG WAS ALWAYS A SOURCE OF LIFE AND JOY FOR ALL OF US WHO KNEW HIM. THE MEMORY OF THE GOOD HUMOR HE INVARIABLY BROUGHT TO HIS RELATIONS WITH EVERYONE AT UNION COLLEGE IS GOING TO BE MISSED AND ALWAYS FONDLY AND RESPECTFULLY REMEMBERED. WE WILL MISS YOU SIG!!

Mary - I always enjoyed visiting with your Dad when he came in to pick up your children. He always had something interesting to add to our talks. My thoughts are with you and your family. Grace Stechschulte

I an so sorry for the loss of your dad Shelly.

I'm very sorry for your loss, uncle Jerry was a great man. Greg, Mindy and I will always have the memories of being at your house as a kid we always loved coming to visit. Our thought and prayers are with u and the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jerry's family.

I grew up in Cridersville and was friends with Carl and Carolyn. It's been a long time since we have seen each other, but what great memories I have of the entire Rains family.

april

So sorry to hear of Jerrys passing. I know he will be missed by everyone who had the privilege of kmowing him. God bless you and your family at this time.

So sorry for your loss Christine. Our heart goes out to you and your family. Jerry was a kind and good man. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He is with God and the Angels now. You are in our hearts and our prayers. God Bless, Rick and Kim

What a wonderful man he was! We are so sorry for your loss, Chris! He is already greatly missed! We love you!

We would like to send a prayer out to the family. Sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you

With father's day in just a couple of day I have been thinking about you grandpa. The way you were always there for the family no matter what. The way you made use laugh with the silly jokes. The way you kept the family together even when we didn't want to be. You gave us so much and never asked for much in return. So much has changed and will never be the same. You were the glue that kept this family together and you didn't have to do anything or even try. We all love and miss you so much. Rest easy grandpa and watch over us as we go about our days.

Always missing you,
Niccole Eberhart,
loving first grandchild.

I can't believe it's almost been 3 years, Dad. So much has happened, and without you being here, the family has fallen apart. I haven't spoken to mom in 2 years... she went absolute bazooka on us! I'm not even allowed on the property any more. From what I understand, Ronnie is having the same issues with her, but he is able to deal with her better than I was. I'm glad he is there for her. I haven't seen Sharon in quite a while... seems like Alice causes trouble and rumors so I just stay away.
I hope that now you and Uncle Herb are together, as brothers should be!
I miss you Dad! So bad that it hurts!
I can't wait to see you again!
I love you Daddy!

To the family:
What a life he led! He was always friendly and interested in what someone had to say.
I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet him and Evelyn. Even though I moved away, when I did go through Cridersville and drove past where they lived, I would smile and think of what a nice couple and how I was glad that I had met them.

So sorry for the loss

Joanie Clark-Ketcham

a service for charlie was held last thursday in colorado springs. out of 5 grandchildren, only 1 was able to make it & say his good byes. Matthew stood to talk about his grandpa. let it be known that he said.."the best thing my grandpa ever did for me was to take me back to ohio & introduce me to the rest of my family." he loved his grandpa very much & charlie loved him dearly.

Dear Bob Hollon, family, church and friends,
Yesterday I received a letter in which I was notified of the passing of Lilli – I am absolutely shocked and devastated! I still cannot believe it!
I met Lilli on May 5th 2012 in Seattle - I was waiting for the Broadway musical “Revues” to start when one person set near me – I turned to see – and there she was smiling at me with the friendliest smile I have ever seen – in a few minutes, we became friends! I am not exaggerating! We connected instantaneously. She emanated such a genuine goodness - it was almost unbelievable -I was longing for it all my life! She was like sunshine. In the intermission, we share how much we LOVED the GOD and we called each other SISTERS and kiss each other and promised that we will be SISTERS forever - - she told me: I WILL WAIT FOR YOU UNDER THE TREE OF LIFE IN THE PARADISE – I smiled and said: Let God arrange where we will meet as we will be in His hands. But we assured each other that we will meet in the Paradise.
After the musical, we waited for a autographs from the Creator of “Annie”Martin Charnin and his wife Shelly Burch – Lilli was so excited and so exuberant.
I asked Lillie what she was going to do in the afternoon – she told me that she was going to fly today to OH and needed to leave for the airport at around 8 pm from her hotel. Then I asked her if she would like to visit me in Alki where I live and she agreed. We stopped in one bakery – café at Seattle Market place – to refresh – and we had such a wonderful time - there Lili told us (I was with two other friends) about her missionary work – I already knew that she was an extraordinary person, but at this point, I was speechless. She was a Saint! And was in heaven!
Then we went to my apartment in Alki - and I seated her in my sofa and covered her legs with a blanket – by that time I knew about her healthy diet – and I offered her to eat Grapes and walnuts – she was so happy and content with the food – . The short time we spent together was electrical – I fell in LOVE with Lilli and it looks that she had the same excitement - mostly because we LOVE the Lord and want to serve him. Lilli asked me if I would like to preach the Gospel with her and her husband one day – and I said “YES!”
Before she left to Seattle she showed me her flight schedule – and I saw that she had two additional stops before she arrives at OH – I asked her: Why did not purchase a nonstop ticket? And she said “Oh NO”, she said –“With the two stops flight I saved a few hundred dollars and with that money I can help people who are in need” I was amazing.
I called Lillie awhile she was still in the Seattle airport to check on her – and then I called the next day to make sure that she arrived safely in OH. We called each other two more time.. We reaffirmed our friendship sisterhood and faithfulness in the Lord and to each other. A week later or it might have been just before the accident, I received a call from Lilli that went to my voicemail saying: I would like to introduce you to my husband – just pick up a country and we will go and preach there”. This message found me unprepared . I was not ready financially to undertake this trip. – I needed to contemplate it. I did not return the call right way – something for which I will regret awhile I live. And when I called a week later or so, Lilli’s phone was disconnected. I was wondering what was wrong with her phone. I started to get upset a little – but I still expected that she would call me.
I wondered until yesterday when I received the news that she was killed in an accident – it hit me hard and I cannot imagine how hard it is for her husband Bob and her daughter – she spoke of them with such affection.
Her words to me: ” I will wait for you under the Tree of LIFE” still resound in my mind – they were prophetic - and I know that she is with God right now.
I feel blessed to having to know Lilli even for a few hours – my life is enriched and blessed forever. She was one of the most beautiful person I have ever met – almost unreal – like an Angel. And to be more precise – In Lilli I met a true Saint in the Lord! And it was divine arrangement!
To the Lord: My Lord, please send this message to Lilli “ Lilli I love you and we will see each other as we promised – under the TREE of LIFE - in God’s timing. Until then, enjoy the Presence of God and keep shining ! In your last message to me you wanted to preach and to serve the Lord – Well, now you are with Him –“absent from the body, present with the Lord” Behold His Beauty! Loving you forever!”
From Your Sister in the Lord
With Everlasting Love,
Hristina Christ
To Bob Hollon and her daughter: Please call me at 206-354-3776 or write to me at [email protected] if you would like to learn more about how Lilli blessed my life for the few hours we spend together. I cannot even imagine how much more you have been blessed. Please accept my sympathy for your lost. Let God comfort your hearts. I will be honored if you visit me in Seattle. I love you because Lilli loves you so much and we are connected in God’s LOVE

I am sorry sorry to hear of the passing of Lilli. She was such a wonderful and kind hearted person. She just lit up the room when she came. I only had the honor of knowing her a short period of time, but I absolutely enjoyed all her stories she would tell me. She will be missed by many!

we will misss seeing her at dixie diner she would come in there she will d efinalty be missed friends and sincerely Bev,Amy and doug jones

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Harvey and Sandy,

Wanted to send my condolences as I read online of your mother's passing. She was a sweet lady and a good teacher. My mother still lives on our farm and turned 92 this month.

I remember many of our bus rides to school together.

My thoughts are with you.

Lois Werling Cook

I have really good memories of Aunt Rosine babysitting us when we were young. They had a room just filled with childrens books I just LOVED!! She will be missed.

I have fond memories of Aunt Rosine. I always remember she and Uncle George always came out to our house to stop by and see how we were doing and if we had any celebration, they always came. It was nice that they showed that they cared.

She always kept herself well groomed, neat and pretty. They were both so proud of Scott and Elaine. The last few years when we stopped to visit with her, she always was so glad to see us. I liked our Aunt Rosine.

The thing I remember most about Rosine was her calling Scott home for dinner when we were out somewhere playing. We could be 2 blocks away but you could always hear the familiar "SCOTTY!". Your Mom was a good woman & I will always remember her as one of the 3 neighborhood Moms that were always keeping an eye on all of us kids.

With Deepest Sympathy in the Loss of Your Loved One.

You are in our prayers.



Pam Morgan Laing, Melissa & Syndal Laing and Jessica, Jacob, Chase & Trenton Settlemire.

Still Missing You

They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.

For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
when we were all together
The family chain is broken now,
but memories live forever.

My Grandpa
When I walked in your House Today
Tears started to stream down my face when I saw you that way.
I love you Grandpa, I will love you everyday.
As my tears raced down my face;
I knew you'd soon be in a much better place.
My love will follow you wherever you go.
Oh how I loved you so.
Although I feel sorrow and hate.
I know You can’t fight fate.
You told me everything as time passed by and by.
Grandpa this sucks, I never wanted you to die.
We did a lot together throughout the years
It’s time to wipe away the tears.
I want you to know; Grandpa
I will never let you go.
I know you loved me too.
My heart will always be with you.
Now it’s time to say goodbye.
Until I see you again someday when I die

I Will Always Miss and Love You Grandpa.
Love
Your Grandson
Doyle J Snider (D.J.)

I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear family of Rita,

How blessed we all are to have had any time with this awesome woman!!
God placed me on the same Emmaus team with Rita and what a blast we all had.
She was a lover of GOD first!
We were sorry to hear she left us--but so happy for her heavenly home.
Rita loved life & we loved her!!

Dear Andrews family,
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. We have fond memories of both your mom and dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

So sorry for your loss, on hearts and Prayers go out to your entire family.

Dear Tink, Kathy and extended family,

Nearly four years ago Rita sent me an email that, unbeknownst to her at the time, made my perspective shift at a difficult time in my life. It read, "God takes nothing from your grasp, merely opens your hands for something better." We have exchanged emails since and I will miss her wisdom, faith and humor. Her love for you was deep and you were treasured by her.

I pray for you to have strength and peace.
Michele "Shelley" Crissinger Evans

Just wanted to let you all know that you are in my prayers. Rita was a very special person. I'm so glad that God allowed our paths to cross through Emmaus. Rita &you Doc were a special couple and the love they showed everyone and to each other always shined bright. I am happy that they have been reunited again, but sad at the loss of such a great friend.

Kathy and Tink,
So sorry to hear about your mom, my sincere condolences. Your mom and dad were wonderful people and great neighbors.

Sorry for your loss. Your mom always had a smile on her face whenever we saw her. May God Bless you at this difficult time. Our thought s and prayers are with you.
Rudy & Jill

Doc and Rita were our neighbors on Sara Lee.
We have many wonderful memories. Rita hosted a baby shower for me when I was expecting Bridget..29 years ago.
We will keep you in our prayers.
May the Lord wrap His loving arms around your family. Hug you, hold you and comfort you.
Ed & Tammy Danner

Dear Kathy, Tink and family, our sincere condolences. As she has probably related to you we have been able to talk online in recent years and I so loved being able to be back in touch with her. She thought it was unbelievable that I remembered so much about going to your house when I was young with Carolyn and Barbara and their little ones.
Rita was truly a loving, caring and GIVING person, we will never forget.

Loving thoughts and prayers,
Kathy & Dave

our family, Kellie, Richie and their children Justin, Tyler and Kendal

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I have known Rita since I was a child. Jamie and I were best friends when I lived on Sara Lee. I saw Rita not too long ago and she looked amazing and she was feeling better. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dear Reynolds family,
I was very saddened to hear of the death of Mary Lou, or Mrs. Reynolds as I always called her. I visited her several times at the nursing home the last few years while my father was there. We talked about the good ol'days of pizza parties with Randy at his house and the sleepovers. She was like a second mother to me and I still recall the good times I had many years ago with Randy at the Reynolds house, and band camp, school, etc. These memories will be with me forever. I wish you all God's peace during this time and the assurance of salvation to all who believe. Mrs Reynolds is at peace now.

May God continue to bless you all,
Gene Koch

I cannot begin to describe how much of an impact this woman has made on my life, I would even consider her another grandma to me. I cannot even say her name without smiling. There will never be a time that I forget her strong hugs or warm smile. I hope Jesus truly enjoys her company as much as I have. God Bless you beautiful Mary Lou. I will always miss you. I carry your heart with me, I carry it in my heart.

My sympathies to your family.

Isaiah 43:1 Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

Love always,
Amanda

What do you say about a woman who did it all? I will miss my mom so much. She was a great mother, and a great Granny to my 4 kids. She was so proud to be a Mom, and she was a good one. She cared for her children in a way most of us can only dream about. She beamed w/ pride when her grandchildren and great - grandchildren were mentioned. The thing I will remember most about my mom is how she donated her time to volunteering in various areas, and how she helped her neighbors. She cared for her family, but it didn't stop there. Her neighbors were family too.((Mark 12:30-31 " Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no commandment greater than these.” )) The other thing I cherish about my mom is her STRENGTH. She was the strongest woman I know. In my eyes, she could do anything. She didn't use the words: "I'm afraid". She just took on any battle she was faced with, and did her best. Mom, I love you now, forever and ever. I will miss your soft touch, and your gentle laugh. This is not goodbye, but "I'll see you again some day". xoxoxoxoxo

Growing up in Cridersville I have great memories of Mary Lou Reynolds and her family. What a good mother and example she was to all of us.

I left Cridersville 40 years ago - but Cridersville never left me.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

I worked with Randy at Pangles. I am sorry to hear of your mother's passing. My memory of her is that she was a very nice person and I'm sure she will be greatly missed.

Jennifer and family, I'm so sorry I missed the services. Thinking of you with sympathy and remembering the times spent with Mary Lou at Calvary UMC.

Thanks for all your years of service to Girl Scouting....and Thanks for being a GREAT Brownie Leader! You left a great impression on me and now I carry your legacy of Scouting with my own Troop! Thanks for the great times and memories!

I will always remember visiting Mary Lou at the manor when I would take Mom walks. We would stop in and visit for awhile and talk about the family. Mary Lou loved all of her children and grandchildren and was so proud of them. She was always smiling and very kind and loving to everyone. She will truly be missed by all! Love, Tom and Pam Houston and family

I have such fun memories of Mary Lou in scouting, Our younger daughter was a Brownie and I had the Junior troop with our older daughter. Our combined "Day Camps" at Lotz's Poind were a "hoot". Later in life I find out our son and her grandsons became lifetime friends. She was a jack of all trades, never a loss for words, a wonderful, fun person. We are lucky to have had her in our life. Bernie Verbryke, Kevin;s Mom

Mrs. Reynolds was a great girl scout leader. We popped popcorn in a empty coffe can with a wire hanger. I made my first smores camping with her. We had to build an outdoor bathroom. She came to visit my Mom one evening and I was outside mowing the barnyard when something went through the lawn mower and cut my leg open. By the time, I got into the house blood was running down my leg. My mom went crazy. It was your mom who got the bleeding to stop and took care of me. Through the growing up years I called her my second Mom. I have thought of your Mom often through the years and wondered how she and the children was doing. I have very fond memories of your Mom and and family. My very deepest condolences to you.

Jennifer and Family,
I was surprised and saddened to read of your mother's death in tonight's paper. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
To this day, whenever I eat a shredded chicken sandwich or get a craving for one, I think of Mary Lou. Hers just tasted better than any others. She always had time for us band kids and was a great friend to the other parents. My mom and Aunt Mary Koch had great respect for her.
I visited your mom several times while she was living at the Manor. My mom is there now, recovering from knee replacement and receiving therapy.
You will be comforted in reading the many messages you will receive and reminiscing the good times. May God give you the strength to get through the days ahead.
Thank you for sharing your mom with us! Love to you all. Beth

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mary Lou was one of the sweetest, kindest women i knew. I was a Cridersville kid. She was not only my Girl Scout leader but also lived on Elizabeth St. right down from where my parents still live today. When she still lived there my sister and I would stop by periodically to say hello. There were always hugs and kisses. She will be dearly missed.

Corina,

Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your grandmother. May your memories of her bring you joy and peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

In Christ Love!

I bowled with Kay,she was one of the funniest women I knew..Have some great Halloween pics of Her when we had a Halloween party at Pam Hakius house....will be sadly missed....

We, in the circulation department of the Lima Public Library, are sad to hear of the passing of Kay. She was an avid listener of books on cd, and over the years, a regular patron of our main branch.
She was always upbeat and full of life, and her spirit will be missed.
Our condolences to family and friends.

I love You

Mom was a very loving person and I miss her deeply already.

I am very sorry for your loss. All of you are in my prayers. God Bless.

To my big brother,

We grew up apart in many ways, but spent a lot of our lives as one big family. I will always remember you playing your guitar, having pancake eating contests with Danny and for the quiet often shy presence you had in our lives. Steve, I know this life has its struggles, but you are finally at peace and at rest with none of these to deal with any more. I pray you are with our moms (Wanda and Judy) and dads (Dale and Dick) in heaven watching them all play cards together and you playing your guitar in the background, just waiting for the rest of us to join you. I will miss you. Until we meet again.

Love,

Your Sister Tracy Wilson (Martin)

To Steve's family I wish to express my sympathy for your loss. I,and a few other fellas, knew Steve as "Harvey" way back in the 70's. We had some great times and then we kind of lost touch but I'l always remember "Harvey as a tru friend. GOD bless you, friend!

I light a candle to Steve. I will never forget all the great times and memories that we made as friends and all the times that we were there listening to you play with Cosmos.

To Steve's family,

I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy to you.

Rhonda Dearth

I know you werent my brother by blood, but you were my brother. We were raised together from the time I was three years old. I never thought of you as any other than my brother. You will always be in my heart. You are the only one who could ever talk to me in my sleep. RIP I will always love you!

RIP My wonderful big brother. I love you.

Jim and the rest of the Luttrell family,

Kathy - all of us at DTR offer our sympathy for the loss of your mother.

So sorry to hear of Louise's passing. Just read it in the newspaper. I just was thinking of all the good times us kids had on Cleveland Ave many years ago. Hugs to you all and remember she is in God's arms.

Jerry was a good friend of mine. I lived with him at the Town Square Apartments a few years back and he and I were alls good friends and chatted with one another. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences and sympathies on the passing of a fine man. I will remember him fondly!!

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound....the angels are celebrating the home going of a dear loved. We are still in Fl. When I learned of your mothers passing. In reading the obit through my mother, I realized I drove school bus with your mother for several years....I remember her well she began some years ahead of me and was always helpful especially on field trips...I can't believe I didn'y make the connection before this. May God grant you both and all your family the peace that Jan is experiencing. 'SUNSHINE GRANDMA" says it all

Mom loved to read too. I remember when we were kids she took us to the library and I was so impressed because she always got 4 or 5 books for herself. She used to get the books with the plastic book cover with pictures of nurses and Drs on them. When I was older I found out they were romance/mystery novels.
She also loved to travel. She and I went to Montana, Missouri, Savanagh, GA and along the Appalachian Trail. There were magnets on her refrig representing states she had visited. She went to England with Aunt Betty to visit Dianna and Jody and went on a cruise too. There are some pics of her, Aunt Betty and Aunt Sue in Branson, I think. Those Petty girls had some fun...don't worry Aunt Sue...no one has seen them but me! LOL

I can see Aunt Jan in heaven sitting at Thanksgiving table with her loved ones who welcomed her with open arms. Well, they had to or she'd run 'em over with her bus. Her picture should be in the dictionary with the caption, "By God you better..." She will be missed greatly.

ill miss her so very much.she was my big sister & my best friend. we talked almost ever sunday . we lived togather in fl. for almost 2 years.thoes are times i will never forget. we traveled togather to my daughter'sfor thanksgiving and her famous pecan pies.yummmmm. i love you & will miss you very much.u

I remember Aunt Janet as always having a smile and welcoming others into her home. Although I was young at the time, I remember feeling the joy Mother and Daddy (Glada and Verlin Sims) felt at having the family just across the field from our farm. I especially loved the fact that there were small babies for me to hold and carry around. I remember well the last time I was with her. I was visiting Mother and Daddy during the summer and we met her for lunch one Sunday after church in Washington. She was visiting from Florida. She shared pictures of her family and told us many stories. It's been hard to keep in touch since Glen and I moved to Alaska in 1962, but I remember the closeness I felt as we shared many Sunday dinners after church at Grandmother's. I know your memories will be a special comfort and we pray God will bless you each as you continue on without Aunt Janet's physical presence.

I always enjoyed talking to her. She was open and honest. What a lovely obituary. She accomplished a great deal and lived a full life.
I remember how much she enjoyed sports and knew all about the local teams. My sympathy to both her friends and family. Until we meet again. Gloria McCloy

I always loved when Aunt Jan came to visit because she always brought lots of pictures of the kids and grandkids and we would sit and talk and laugh. she would tell stories and I felt like I hadn't missed a thing in their lives. I will miss her but I know she is sitting at a table in heaven with her brothers and sister drinking coffee and laughing. Love them all and miss them.
