To the Wallace Family,

How much could be said of your mother. She was a blessed child of our Father, a True Mother in Israel. Always quietly joyful in the Lord, she was one of the best examples of maturity in Christ that Rose and I knew, a sweet, warm heart and perfect helpmeet to your wonderful father.

We know that you will miss her deeply (as will everyone who knew her). We pray that you are comforted by the fact our promises in Christ are sure, more certain than the changing of the seasons. We also pray that the pain you feel will be brief, comforted by the balm of our Lord’s love. Our joy, as we meditate on Christ’s work, will remain eternal as your mother’s joy now is.

Love in Christ,

Dan and Rose Landis

Dear Family: Since 1979 I have been blessed to know Aunt Barb as a role model, my father-in-law’s youngest sibling, a lively conversationalist and a spirited walking partner. We always have lived far apart but she was only a phone call away. Barb has gone forth to love and serve the Lord in a new way. Her faith and her resilience in times of trouble will serve me as an example, going forward.

I did not know Barbara, but I was a teacher at Phillipsburg H.S. with her husband, John. He was a good man who loved his family.
So sorry for your loss.
