y condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth.

My condolences to the family of Mace. He cut my hair back in the late 40' s and 50's, and after i got out of the service. He used to rent the pasture from.my dad & mom , Lou & Faustne., out on rt 88. Mace gave me my first flattop cut. He was really good at them. 
My prayers are with you.

I met Mace through the Peoria Heights Investment club, in the early ninties.  Mace was always very helpful, inasmuch, I did not have a very deep knowledge of investments.  
Over the following years he became a valued advisor in the investment knowledge guideance.  Even when he lately had to stand to voice his opion he mde his thoughts and advice known.
Althought I left the Investment Club Several years ago, his advice was still present in my mind.
Also his wife's Rasin Pies, were always big a hit at the club meetings.
Mace and I are the same age,and we both faced the same problems, I  think we both are-were- ready to move on to new adventures in Heavenly Stocks.

We extend to each of you our deepest sympathies!

May our Lord Jesus give you His peace and comfort as only He can. 

For Jesus said in John 14:27, 

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
