My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Richard Skoog- I am sorry to hear of your loss. May you find comfort in many beautiful memories of Mr. Skoog at this difficult time. The Bible gives us hope that soon the Creator will end all suffering, pain, and death. (Revelation 21:4) Also we have the hope of being with our loved ones when they are resurrected (John 5:28-29). The promise of Paradise, the perfect conditions God originally intended for mankind in the Garden of Eden will be fulfilled including God’s “will being done as in Heaven also up on Earth “(Matt 6:9, 10). Please take the opportunity to continue to learn about the many comforting promises in the Bible. (John 17:3).
So many holiday memories. You will be missed Uncle Dick.
We have been blessed to have known you. I will always remember my first snowmobile ride at your place. God Bless.
I will always remember the time you and your family took me fishing up at Goodrich Lake.
I have been blessed to have had you in my life.
To Sean’s adotive Dad. Thank you for taking him under your wing and being there for him. You opened your heart and for that I will always be grateful. You will be greatly missed.
Sean’s Mom
