Memories of my dear cousin just three years older than me. My deepest sympathy to all the family
To the family and friends of Mrs. zweber always cherish the fond memories of time spent together and although you may grieve the Bible can be a source of comfort. At (Revelation 21:3,4) it speaks of a time when there will be no more sickness or death, also at (Acts 24:15) it speaks of a resurrection that we all can look forward to. May the peace and love of the God of all comfort be with you all. Comfort can be found in our Creator through prayer and through his word the Bible and in Jesus Christ.
Doris, we loved you the instant we met you. You are one amazing tough ass female who we all looked up to and respected. The way you talked crap as we all played and lost cards to you…truly impressive! You raised strong boys, (Dale we especially love) and we will always miss your banter. You were everything and we will miss you always! Till we all meet again ❤️
Love,
The Ambrose Clan
