Joyce, Wanda, Ron & family, Our prayers are with you and your families during this time. Opal was such a joyful person with a beautiful smile and filled with laughter. I can remember the evenings that our parents played cards many times and also the camping at Tenkiller Lake. I know why you girls are so loving. God Bless, Gary & Judy Laird

Ron and Joyce, we are so sorry to learn of the passing of Joyce’s Mom. I remember both her Mom and Dad – my entire family had much respect and affection for them. Having lost both my parents, I know first hand the sorrow you feel. Dad would have been 100 this coming July! Love, Lou

Dear grieving family, My wife and I are very sorry for your tremendous loss and would like to express our condolences to the entire family. We cannot imagine the great pain and sorrow you are experiencing during this most difficult time. When we lose someone we love so dearly we are left with a very strong desire to see that person again. It's wonderful to know that God has promised we will see our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. John chapter 5 verses 28 and 29 gives this wonderful reassurance: 'Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.' What a marvelous hope! Once again we wish to express our condolences to the family. And although we cannot erase the pain and sorrow you are feeling, it is our hope that this can give you a small measure of comfort.
