To All the VanArsdale Girls: I have known all of you for a very long time as your next door neighbor and friend. My girls spent many hours in your home. So many times your dad Don came to my rescue to help with something around the house and my car. Your Mom was there to listen when I had down moments. During some of those down times I went to meetings with her and friend Janice Means lifting up Jesus and praying for me. Through the years, Sandy, you have been there for me and my family. Always ready to listen. You cheer me up everytime I talk with you. Now you girls have lost your Mom. We all know that you will be reunited with her (soon I believe) in the New Jerusalem. What a HOPE we that believe in Jesus and salvation have. We sorrow at our loss, but have the comfort of our Saviour and His grace for all of us. Candy and Don can be proud, not in a self indulging way, of you girls and all of the family. Candy is at rest soon to see Jesus coming in the clouds to take all of His children Home. Praise the Lord! My family and I are holding all of you up in prayer this day! Love, Sandy (Tate) Bowman
