Our prayers are with all of you. I have such wonderful memories of visiting the farm and seeing the last of my Father`s brothers, Uncle Milton. We will meet again in Heaven around the throne. Uncle Milton has already seen Jesus and his two sons, and all the family members who made Jesus Lord of their lives. Jesus said I`m the resurrection and life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. John 11:25
Mrs. Hairfield & family:My heartfelt feelings go out to all of your family. Mr. Hairfield was a loving, kind hearted & hard working man. Even though he is in heaven now the wonderful memories he has left all of you will help you in these next hardest days. I feel happy in my heart to have known such a kind & strong man in my lifetime. He is truly a wonderful set of footsteps to follow as a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather & friend. The Lord has truly blessed ya`ll to have had such a kind hearted & wonderful man in your lives. His gentle ways are truly a legacy for all to know. I will keep you in my prayers & know that I am here to help in any way.God`s Blessings, Hugs & Love Always
We know the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our sorrow will bring comfort to you Aunt Louise and your family, as we ourselves have received this comfort in times past. As the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows to you. 2Cor.1:3-7..We know that Uncle Milton was looking to the future as the Apostle Paul wrote in 2Cor.5:1-8 . When the spirit is absent from the body it is present with our Lord. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family that God will strengthen your faith in Him during and after this time becoming more mature and complete in Christ.In Christian love,Nephew
