Dearest friends Linda & Dave, May our loving Lord & Saviour, Jesus Christ, hold you in His merciful arms now and forever. I know Liam will be one of the first one’s to greet me when I’m called Home too. And remember, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” [Psalm 34:18] Wrapping you in prayer always. Love you, Sparky & Steve
My prayers and thoughts are with David (my brother) and Linda (sister in law) as they try to mend their broken hearts. No words can explain the pain I feel for loosing a nephew so early in his promising life.
RIP Liam Conley
Uncle Dwayne.
He indeed was a special young man and it was a joy to speak with him and to know him. I will miss you Liam. It is a comfort to know you are in the arms of the Prince of Peace. God love you.
My heart and thoughts are with the family. I always enjoyed doing Liam’s hair as well as his mother Linda. I remember the many great conversations I would have with him. Linda definitely was proud of him and his smile, cheerful presence will be missed by so many. I’m thinking of you Linda and your husband at this time. I’m sorry for your loss.
Thoughts and prayers,
Laura Connelly
