Condolences
The family of Francis Meyer has received the following condolences.
You have my sympathy and that of the Holy Spirit Catholic Church who brought Francis Holy Communion. It was only the last few months that I started going to Cottage 4. I met you Jeanette sitting with Francis on the sun porch, a few weeks back. Francis was always pleased to receive Jesus in the Eucharist. He was a loving soul. I am glad I had the pleasure of meeting him. God bless you and your Family.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Fran was a friendly person.
My condolences to Mr.Meyer's family and friends. The faithful man Job asked; "If a man dies, can he live again?" and he recognized the answer; "You will call and I will answer you." (Job 14:14-15) Jesus confirmed when he said; "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out,..."(John 5:28-29) My prayers are with you that the resurrection promise will comfort you. May wonderful memories also help you through this time.
