Guestbook

  1. To the family of Edna Earle: I am truly sorry for the loss of your loved one. I pray that you can find comfort in God who comforts all in the time of their grief, 2 Corinthians 1:3 and in his promises recorded in the Bible at John 5:28, 29 and Psalm 37:11, 29. There you will find a beautiful hope for the future of our loved ones. May sweet memories continue to surround you and bring you comfort. My deepest sympathy.

  2. I have only just learned today, 02 May 2016, of Edna’s passing. As I remember her from our own elementary school days, it is with such fondness. My heart and prayers are with you and your family, Jeannine. We have so many loved ones with our Lord, what a day it will be when we are altogether, once more.
