October 25, 2012 at 8:21 amMy deepest sympathy to Tammy’s family and friends. Tammy and I dated for a short time back in the mid 80’s and though I haven’t seen her in many years, I was shocked to see her obituary in the paper. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of her family and friends.

June 20, 2018 at 9:48 amTo Ms. Doersom’s family, I’m very sorry for your loss. No matter how much time passes we still feel the loss of our loved ones and view death as God does, an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) May you find comfort and hope in His promise at Revelation 21:3,4 that shows soon there will be no more death, sickness, or pain, and we can see our lost loved ones again. Please accept my deepest condolences.
