I am sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the family will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection (Acts 24:15) and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will mourn the death of a loved one as found at Revelation 21:3,4. May God (Psalms 83:18) grant you peace and comfort during this grievous time.

To the family of Mr Knipper I'm sorry than your loved one fell asleep in death. Our Creator made a provision to restore life to dead ones: "He sent his only-begotten Son into the world so that we might gain life through him." (1John 4:9). Jesus assures us: "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." (John 11:25).

Please accept my sincere condolences. I remember Ed from my time in the Drifter's Car Club. What a great bunch of guys. I wish I still had our "cool" black corduroy jackets with Drifter's on the back and the plaque we hung below the rear bumper. I visit Elyria once or twice a year to see family. it would be nice to visit. Sincerely, Pat Behan
