Condolences
The family of Shirley Ann Hammes has received the following condolences.
We look forward to seeing our loved ones again because of the Bible's promise at Acts 24:15 "And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." One day soon the earth will be a paradise again ,which was Jehovah Gods original purpose .Isaiah 65:20-22 helps us to see that the day will come when our days will be like those of a tree,and even long-lived trees will seem to us as transient as the grass, coming and going while we continue living forever. Please accept my deepest deepest sympathy.
Chris,
We are very sorry for your loss. Someone shared with us that you were a wonderful son to your mother. May Shirley rest in peace.
Our prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of a loved mother and grandmother. We hope that you can gain comfort from the time shared with family and friends as you celebrate a life well lived.

Joe Hammes , sorry for the lose of your mother.
Dear folks who loved Shirley. I loved her, too. She went to my church, Homestead United, and belonged to my circle. She belonged to 4-H and graduated from high school with my late husband. She and I became great friends. She was a wonderful, friendly, full-of-energy lady. Her sister Carol is also a friend of mine. We will miss her. I am sending some money in her memory to both Homestead Church and Naomi Circle. I pray God gives you pleasant memories. Sincerely, Hazel Markham
Steve and Jodi,

God Bless.
