To Carolyn & the entire Birch family, sorry for your loss. praying for strength, comfort and peace during this difficult time.May god bless you all.
I have known Mr. Birch and his wife for over 40 years. We belonged to the same church in DeLand and when I moved to Orlando we belonged the the same church here. He was a loving, respectable and kind man. I rarely ever saw him without Ms. Caroline. I will truly miss him.
We often talked about the people in DeLand. Love Julia
My prayers are continuous with the family and especially with Carolyn as I always call her Bay
Dear Sister Birch, I share in this time of grief with you and your family, also in celebrating the memories of Brother Birch, like it has already been said he was kind and a respected member of Pine Hills Community Church. I had and missed his pleasant face in the worship services. Hold tight to the Lord Jesus for comfort. Love you Yauvaline Fulger PHCC Usher
