    To the Family , I would like to express how sorry to hear of your loss. It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your loved one can be most difficult to bear. That pain is not necessarily erased by being told that your loved one is up in heaven. Jesus Christ promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, paradisaic conditions. (Luke 23:43; John 3:16; 17:3; compare Psalm 37:29 and Matthew 5:5.) Since Jesus made the promise, it is safe to assume that he is willing to fulfill it. These promises have consoled me when my father died. Hopefully, they can provide some hope and comfort to your family.

    I'm truly sorry for the loss of your loved one. May the God of tender mercies (Psalm 83:18) comfort and strengthen you for the days to come, 2 Cor.1:3,4.

  • Dan and Carol Schwarts

    We extend our condolences to the Wiseman Family. We visited with Lois briefly almost every time we were out at Spring Wind to visit Betty. Lois was always so excited to see Dan and would greet him with "Hi, Cuz!" She could usually be found sitting out by the front lobby, so he would always stop to chat with her.

    Greg, Lori and Scott - I’m so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I’ll always remember her making me go to the ER after a car wreck because she knew “your Mother would insist you go!” So she took me to the ER! Thinking of her brought back some great memories of times shared with her and your Dad...we’d laugh until tears were rolling down our faces. Lois was so good-hearted and caring. I know she and Alden are together, and I know they were very proud of all of you kids, your accomplishments and your extended families. I hope you all gather strength from the wonderful upbringing your Mom and Dad gave you. You all are in my thoughts and prayers......
