Add A Condolence

Michael, Terry and Windle,

I will sorely miss Dinah. She was such a beautiful soul on earth and will surely watch over you in her heavenly home. I regret that I was not able to attend her funeral, but surely she knows that I love her. I am forever grateful for your coming to see Herbert during his illness and keeping us in your prayers. I know that she is at peace and at rest in God's arms.

Michael, We will always remember Cousin Dinah for her kind and pleasant personality. She and your Dad were always at the LMHG Reunion... will certainly miss her. May your memories of her keep her spirit forever in your heart. Our prayers are with you and Family.

Love, Ed and Jackie Lewis
