My deepest condolences

September 14, 2015

My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures

John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."

This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)

Please go to the following link to obtain more information regarding the Hope expressed in this passage and again we are sorry for your loss.

To the Schierer family, I hope that in this time of loss you realize what a remarkable father you had. He was always a gentlemen. He was also very thoughtful to everyone.I enjoyed visiting with him at the City Heat. He dearly loved your mom and his doggies. May he finally rest in peace. He will be missed.

Tim, Julie and family,
Sorry to hear about the passing of Jim. While I had not seen him in awhile, I always liked catching up with him when I used to go to River City Athletic Club. He and I were always the first ones there when Ray Wood let us in early.
