Dear Yudt Family, I am sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves. Psalm 34;18 He has promised to soon swallow up death forever...and wipe the tears from all faces. Isaiah 25;8 With deepest sympathy,

Willy :-, Bill, Cheryl and Cindy, My thoughts, and yes, prayers go out to you at this sad time. You all were like a second family to me while growing up. May you all cope well with your loss. I'll always have fond memories of Mrs. Yudt.

Dearest Aunt Dorothy and Family, Here are some thoughts that helped when my Mom died almost a decade ago: I have set eternity in your heart. The things you see and with which you now travail are only temporary; it's the things you can't see that will last forever. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has ever conceived all of the awesome and unbelievable things I have prepared for those who love me. The much awaited times of no more tears and no more sorrows is just a moment and twinkling of an eye away. Eternally, Your Heavenly Father Jesus is preparing a place for each of us. With Love and Comfort, Godson Del and his family.
