When the family chain is broken and loved ones forced apart, it leaves behind an empty space and many broken hearts. Our family chain has broken, and nothing seems the same, but God will call us one by one, and link the chain again.
The family wishes donations to go to the Valley Ridge Hospice of Paradise in loving memory of Nellie and Acie Rhyne, and may be left at Oroville Funeral Home which is handling the services.
