Condolences

  1. Eisbrenner Family

    Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Chris. May words of encouragement uplift your spirit at this time. We didn’t know Chris but from all the comments we have read he was wonderful person and truly loved. He will be deeply missed by many but will never be forgotten. May God give strength and his love to each of you always. In the difficult days to come may the many wonderful memories of his life give you comfort. Something we have personally found to be of great comfort are the thoughts expressed in the Bible at John 5:28 “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus) voice and come out “. May God Jehovah comfort you during this sad time in your life.
