Barbara Greco, Punta Gorda, Florida says
My deepest sympathy in the loss of your father. I was childhood friends with Jackie from kindergarten on. I did not know that she had passed. We lost contact after graduation, but so many memories of your family including Grandma Zamagni.
Ms Allison says
Please except my condolences. May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about him and bring him back again. John 5:28, 29 gives this assurance.
