So sorry to hear about Anne's passing. We spoke with Chris and Merri a few weeks ago. We love you all very much. We would feel honored if we could help you or your sons in any way. Anne and you have been the best SC neighbors to us all these years. God has a great homecoming planned for her and you will see her again. She will always be remembered as our friend and a beautiful lady. Praying for you and your family.

Acts 24:15-"And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Soon God’s plan to reunite us with our loved ones will be fulfilled through His son Jesus Christ. What a blessing and wonderful gift to look forward to!
