My condolences to the Colwell Family,
During this time of great sorrow, may it comfort you to know that others are deeply touched by your loss. I too know the pain of losing someone dear. Even though our hearts are broken, rest assure that our Grand Creator cares about you personally (1Peter5:7) and can help you though this difficult time.
Revelation 21:4 speaks of a time soon when God will do away with death forever. There will be no more sorrow, heartache, or pain. May your happy memories and sure scriptural hope comfort your hearts during this painful time.

We were saddened to read of Haywood's passing. Though we haven't seen him for many years there are reminders of his incredible talent and beautiful presence living on throughout our home in his beautiful and timeless cabinetry. He was a true artisan. Condolences to the family.
