Obituaries & Condolences

As I read the obituary for Mr. Ball, I was truly impressed by the outstanding and full life he lived. Never-the-less, 73 years of life is still much too short. How thankful we are that our grand Creator, Jehovah plans to restore his original purpose and make it possible for all mankind (including our loved ones we have lost in death) to live forever under perfect conditions. (Matthew 6:10; Job 14:14 & 15). Please accept our condolences as you deal with the loss of Mr. Ball and contemplate the hope of seeing him once again.

It was with sadness that I read about the passing of Richard. A cousin and long-time resident of Johnson County, the community has lost another "farmer". Our condolences to everyone. May your fond memories of Richard help sustain you during these difficult days but also bring a smile of remeberance in the coming months and years.

Caroline and family, please accept my sincerest condolences on your loss.

We are very sorry for your loss and I will always have good memories when I "helped" Richard on the farm. Our thoughs and blessings are with you. Jim, Gretchen and Ava
