Sincere condolences to the Higgins family, especially for June. You both were always a strong couple, and such an example of a Christian. I remember growing up coming to your house with my Mom. She loved you so much. Praying for family and know that the Lord is with you to comfort you. I love you.

Sincerest condolences to the family. My dad,
Jack Wilson, enjoyed Mr. Higgins' visits while dad
was in the nursing home and Mr. and Mrs. Morley
were just down the hall.
