May you find comfort in this verse during this your time of sorrow knowing others care and pray you have strength in the days ahead. At Isaiah 25:8 and it reads, "He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, For Jehovah himself has spoken it." This gave our family comfort and hope. JR

My sincere condolence to Larry and family. I will always remember Uncle Charles' smiling face and wonderful sense of humor. He was a wonderful person who will be greatly missed.
Larry, so sorry to learn of the passing of your father but how wonderful to know he was with you for so many years. You and your family are in my prayers.
It was my happy privilege to know Mr. Denny and to greet him when he was able to attend Sunday Morning Worship Services at Munsey UMC. I also called to pray with him as part of our prayer ministry to Munsey home bound members. May The Lord welcome Mr.Denny into a place of comfort, light and peace and may his memory be eternal.
