Turk, and family,
We are so sorry for your loss!! She was a great gal! Always enjoyed seeing you both!! I enjoyed working with her at Hills and having some real fun times. She will be missed.
We are unable to be at the funeral home as we will be out of town for a few days. You will be in our thoughts and most of all in our prayers.
Love, Bruce and Evie Sievert

I am very sorry for your loss. There is no greater pain than the loss of a loved one.There is hope for the future. The scriptures make mention of seeing our loved ones again John 5:28,29. When Christ Jesus was on earth he showed then on a small scale what he would do on a even larger scale of bringing back our loved ones to life right here on earth again. We have the example of Lazarus being resurrected, John 11:43,44.You can just imagine the joy of his family on seeing him alive again. We have that hope as well. Your family are in my thoughts.
