OSCEOLA - His Journey's Just Begun. . . Don't think of him as gone away -- his journey's just begun: life holds so many facets -- this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing that we could know, today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched. . . for nothing loved is ever lost -- and he was loved so much. -Ellen Brenneman Thank you to family and friends during our time of loss. -Mary, Kim & Doug Perkey, Lisa & Andy Zimmer, and his grandchildren. Visitation will occur today, April 14, 2010, from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in Osceola United Methodist Church, 431 North Beech Road, Osceola. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, April 15, at 11:00 a.m. in the church, with Rev. Robert Vale officiating. Chapel Hill Funeral Home, 10776 McKinley Highway, Osceola, is handling arrangements. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to Osceola United Methodist Church.
