    I’m just heartbroken over the loss of our dear Brother Schuhmacher💔 Judy, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. As you grieve so do I 😥 May our heavenly Father, Jehovah, hold you close and keep you comforted by His promise at Acts 24:15 that “…there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Gary will certainly be among the righteous due to his faithfulness, kindness and genuine love for people and his God. He will be missed greatly until then. 🙏❣️
