Please accept my heartfelt thoughts and expressions…
When Adam disobeyed The Grand Creator, he lost his special relationship with The Creator, his perfect life and his Paradise home. – Genesis 3:17-19
Because of Adam’s disobedience, we all have inherited sin and death. – Romans 5:12
God made hope for the dead possible by sending His Son to die for us. The resurrection hope tells us about The Creator’s love and undeserved kindness. – John 3:16; Romans 6:23.
May the comfort of God’s promises, friends and family be your strength now and in the days ahead,

It was a blessing to grow up in Lawrence. Two of the wonderful people who made it such a nice place were Wanda and Dean Groves. Wanda was such a loving and caring lady that her love spread joy everywhere especially into my heart. I ran into Wanda and Diane a while back. She was the same loving person with a caring heart. Dimentia may have burdened her mind, but her love in her heart was just as sweet as ever. I know this is very hard for Diane, Wes and David and their families. May God bless you with peace and comfort today and the weeks and years ahead. May your memories be your strength and joy.
