Patty, We Were Saddened To Hear That Lee Had Passed Away, And Are Sorry For Your Loss. I Got To Know Him During Our Years Together On The Wwc, And Learned To Appreciate His Easy-Going Nature, Wit And Concern For Others. I Will Always Have Lots Of Fond Memories Of The Wednesday Mornings We Spent Together Telling Stories, Laughing And Occasionally Doing Some Work.

My Heartfelt Condolences To Dr. Bivens Family During This Difficult Time. Death Is Truly An Enemy Of Us All And I Am So Very Sorry For You And Your Family. I Hope This Scripture Can Bring You Some Comfort During This Time. 1 Corinthians 15:26 “And The Last Enemy, Death, Is To Be Brought To Nothing.” Your Loved One Will Never Have To Face The Last Enemy, Death, Ever Again. In The Meantime, His Acts Of Faith Live On Until He Stands Up Alive And Whole In The Paradise. Yes How We Long To Be Reunited Forever Again.
