Aunt Betty and family. Sorry to read abount Uncle Stu's passing. I send my sympathy and condolences to you and family. It is a joy and a comfort ti know and believe he is around the throne sing praises to our KING. Howie Swart, Carlisle, PA Howard A. Swart

Betty, my sympathy goes to you and your family. Some of my fondest memories of Stu are of the hundreds of meals you both shared with Ralph and I over the past 60 plus years. It was a blessing to know Stu. (We always managed to have a coupon for a free meal) Catherine Dean

My sincere condolences to the family. May God provide all of you with strength and courage during this difficult time. In his word, God promises to soon bring our loved ones that have passed away back to life again at Isaiah 26:19 and John 5:28, 29. God also promises to remove all sufferings and death forever at Revelation 21:3-5. It is impossible for God to lie-Titus 1:2. May these heartwarming promises soon to come bring comfort to the family as you all cherish loving memories of Stuart. Nadia

So sorry to hear of Stu's passing. Always enjoyed talking to him at dialysis. He was always so proud of his children and grandchildren. Linda Gerig
