Tribute wall - a place to share your memories and condolences
Kevin, Leah and Ben Curtis
We remember Eleanor when we used to worship together at Riverbend Baptist Church. During the sharing time, when everybody was too shy to say anything, she boldly rises up and gives encouraging verses especially from the Psalms.
Two of them come to mind:
Psalms 62:1 – My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.
Psalms 147:3 – He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds
Comrie , we rejoice with you in the assurance that Eleanor is in the loving arms of Jesus. We mourn with you for your loss, and holds on the promise of God’s comfort.
Love in Christ,
Kevin, Leah and Ben Curtis
ALLAN AND DORIS SORENSEN

Love and Prayers, Allan and Doris
