“I would like to thank Northlake for the lovely plant that you sent in sympathy at the death of my brother. I would also like to thank those who prayed for him dur-ing his illness and for me and my family. We are also thankful for those who sent cards and other expressions of sympathy. It meant a lot to us and we are very grateful to feel a part of this special family of God.” Nancy & Phil Coleman Continue to pray for David & Lynn Crosier & family as they grieve the loss of his uncle, Ron White, suffered a stroke and passed away on November 20.
