My condolences to Margaret and family. Don and Margaret have been dear people to know in Ferndale. I especially appreciated Don & Margaret’s help when I started the nonprofit Northwest Braille Services, and have enjoyed various conversations as we met occasionally in town. You will be missed and remembered always.

To The Family, I want to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. I also want to share the comfort of John 5:28,29 where we are promised that those who have fallen asleep in death have the hope of receiving a “resurrection” back to life. Life on an earth restored to a beautiful paradise. Psalms 37:11 says, “The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” While we await that wonderful time please find comfort in these promises. www.JW.org
