ReplyA legacy to be proud of, without ever boasting. A farmer who planted nothing but good seed, with lots of love. Sorely missed and forever safe. Phil. 1:6, “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Christ Jesus.”
ReplyAunt Blanche and family, My prayers for you all in your time of grief. May God bless you all.
ReplyGood evening Blanche
Jennifer, the kids, and I will not be traveling but please understand how deeply saddened we are by your loss. Milton always seemed to be simply quietly going about being a good, kind man. What a wonderful example that alone would be. We wish you all the best moving forward. Be well. We love you.

ReplyBlanche and family – I am so sorry for your loss. Remembering many get togethers at the Werner’s and holiday potlucks at the rec area with the couple’s club group. Milton was so kind and always took time to visit with the children. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Every blessing in every way everyday in Christ Jesus to all who long to see Milton face to face in the fullness of life which never ends. It is a promise from the One who is the truth. It is a promise from the One who is the giver of life – eternal life – who gave this life to Milton. Thank you, Jesus, who loved us and gave Himself for us!
ReplyTo Paul, Mother and Families I send deep condolences. His truly was a life well lived.
