Offer Condolence for the family of Margaret S. Polak, nee Zelnick
So sorry for your loss Dr. Timms. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Sympathies,
Erin
You will be missed, Marge. You were a lovely neighbor and friend to many on your block in Brookfield. God rest your soul.
My heart goes out to the family! Longevity is certainly a blessing, but death at any age is too soon. Death is unnatural and not a part of God’s original purpose, so for good reason the Bible calls death an enemy- one that God through Jesus Christ will soon eliminate (1 Corinthians 15:26). May this hope bring the family comfort during this difficult time. Click on the link for more comforting thoughts: http://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/dead-live-again-tract/
Hello and Blessings,
I was unable to come today – due to my pastoral work – Marge was a dear lady – I visited her several times at Cantata – she was one of my earlier bowling partners in the Village Church bowling league – and we remained friends – she was a dear and loving lady – God bless you all so very much!!!
