    Dear Friends,
    We are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts are heavy with sadness for your family. Some times, the things that happen in life don’t make sense to us. But what we have to remember is that God is in control and He stands firm with us as we face our difficult trials here on earth. God said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 I truely believe that Jarret left a possitive mark here on earth and his life will always be remembered fondly in the hearts of all those that knew and loved him. May God bless you and give you peace and strength in the days ahead. And may you feel the love of friends and family as we lift you all in prayer.
    Sincerely,
    Scott and Lou Ann Davis and Robert Welsh
