“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3: 16 ? “So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.” II Cor. 5: 6-9
Visitation will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. with celebration service immediately following at Dayspring Worship Center, 2157 N. Prospect, Springfield. Burial will follow in Greenlawn Memorial Gardens.
