To the Veal Family,
Words will never express the gratitude and love you guys have shown to our family for many years. It was through your love for Christ and us that allowed your family to become my family, through the struggles and the joy, even though our visits grew to be lessened. There was much shared and learned. You've always been and will continually be in our hearts. We'll love you continually with continued prayers. Even though his presence is no longer with you, his memories will live on. He'll be missed but never a sorrow. Just to share, Psalm 30:5 (b-c) states: "in his, (God's), favour is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning".
Sweet Condolescences,
