We are praying for you both. Our family understands the pain and hurt you are going through, Molly and Chris. At these moments draw closer to God and each other. We loved you dad and mom both. Going to school at St. Johns and HVL made our experiences with both your parents great. Your mom was so kind and funny. Take care of each other. We lost our mom too in January this year also.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Biedenbender was also so kind and sweet to all us students at HLHS. She always had a smile for you. I pray God gives you all the strength to say goodbye to her and that he fills your hearts with his comfort and peace.
