I am sorry for your loss, please accept my heartfelt sympathy. While you are preparing to lay your loved one to rest, to sleep for a little while in death(John 11:11), I hope you will find comfort in knowing that soon Jesus' promise of the resurrection will be fulfilled; when he will awaken those who are sleeping in death, restoring them back to life, to live eternally on the Paradise earth.-John 5:28,29; Luke 23:43. Until that blessed promise is fulfilled; may Jehovah God soothe your grieving hearts now and grant you peace and comfort.during this time of sorrow.-Matthew5:4.

Dear Mrs. McHugh, Jay, Michele and Jennifer, Please know I am thinking of you and your whole family at this time. I consider it an honor to have had the time in your home growing up and to have had the adult visit in N.C. Memories I want to share are of playing with the bean pods from the Catalpa trees, seeing Mr. McHugh's car in the drive way in Leominster with a Volkswagon attached to power cables snaking out the front end and going to the Wallace Civic Center to watch Mr. McHugh play adult Hockey. Love, Ann Kondig Elliott
