Deloris and family,
I am so sorry about your loss. I’m glad there isn’t any more pain for Don. I’m sorry I will miss the service but I’ll be home the end of March. The weather has been cool but a lot warmer than Montana.
Love Ardie

Dear Family and Friends of Donald LeDoux – Please be comforted by promises found in the Bible at this difficult time. Continue to dwell on the happy memories and fine qualities that you remember about Mr. LeDoux. Death and suffering was not part of God’s purpose for mankind. Everything that God created was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). Sickness and death came to mankind due to Adam’s sin (Genesis 2:17) which made Adam imperfect, which mankind inherited. Because of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice of his perfect human life, hope of everlasting life is restored and death will be done away with (Revelation 21:4). Faith in these Bible promises gives us hope. Please look forward to the joy of again seeing Mr. LeDoux in perfect Paradise conditions. Faith in these promises will hopefully ease the pain of loss. Meanwhile we have the opportunity to follow Jesus’ instruction to continue to take in Bible knowledge that leads to everlasting life (John 17:3).
