We extend our love and condolences to the Lacey family. While we join in your time of sadness and grief as your wonderful parents have returned home our Heavenly Father’s embrace, we can’t help but be happy for them that they are now together. Our family loved dear Bill as he served as our faithful home teacher and mentor for years. Our lives were blessed by his presence and spirit. May God bless you.

Dear Lacey Family, We are sad AND happy that your dad has passed on–sad because we will miss him but happy that he is no longer suffering and because he and your mom were not separated for very long. For many years, we shared many wonderful times together; we truly enjoyed having them so near to us. They were wonderful examples to us and we learned so much from them. We dearly valued their friendship and loved them very much. We pray that you will be comforted in this time of sorrow and separation. Much love, Alan and Gwenda

To the Lacey family, I’m very sorry for your loss. I wanted to offer you some comfort that I’ve found in the Bible. In John 11:25 Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” May you can draw comfort and strength from this promise that we can see the loved ones we have lost to death again. (Acts 24:15)
