We were all planning to take Artie to Las Vegas for his 1st time in May. We did not know if he was sick. Artie was the 'STAR OF THE SHOW ALWAY" TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT COOK Especially Ribs-his barbecue was delicious. GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten SON that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
We were so surprised and sorry to hear about the passing of Artie. Please know that you are in our prayers. May GOD'S love and holy peace , shelter and comfort you during this time of bereavement. Will(Maosa) Troyyee, Nikkii, Allen(Lorraine) Karen(Terrence) Christi, Pamela.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
