Condolences

The family of Mary Louise Salsman 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.

God bless the beautiful, huge, amazing Salsman family!!!


I remember your mom when I would hang out at your place with Jean (Holmes Elementary School days).  I also remember that I thought you all were such a perfect family (all the brothers and sisters Jean had)!  My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time!  I hope knowing that your mom and dad are now together again brings some comfort for each of you.


God bless you all!


All my love,


Lauren Meurer


 


 

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother.She was a wonderful lady! I'm glad I got the chance to meet her. It was a real joy and privilege to help her and take care of her. She spoke very highly of all her children and her husband. She will forever be in my heart and she will always be Mary Louise Louise to me. She will be greatly missed!!
