To the Dear Family of Lee Ann Kunkel,
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” ~ Revelation 14:13
“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. ~ Revelation 21:3-4
We share in your sorrow and are so thankful to have met such an impressive person.
In memories, we find comfort,
In time, we find peace…
With Love and Prayers Always,
Donald Jay & Elizabeth Brown Family
Ann was a happy person who always brought a smile to my face when we attended the exercise class at the Metro Center. I enjoyed her company very much…she will be sadly missed.
We were so blessed to know Ann and enjoyed getting together in AZ. We will miss her at our card playing evenings. May the wonderful memories carry her family at this time. Blessings to all.
