To Duaine Maxwell Pratt Family:
I wanted you to know that I am praying for you and your family as you prepare your hearts to say farewell to your dear husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather and loved one. He is in a safe place now resting in the arms of Jesus because to be absent in the body is ‘to be present with the Lord.” May you comfort in the precious memories you have of him. “Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.
Love and Prayers,
Jessie Mae Goodwin
Mrs. Frisby,
I am praying for you and your family. I pray that you will find comfort in the precious memories you have of him.
