Condolences

Dear Ones,

Joan was a sweet, gentle person.  Mother appreciated that Joan kept in touch as did myself, Annette and Bobby. I hope you will find consolation as I have in the following Bible verses:

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat.  For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water; And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.   Revelation 7 : 16 & 17

April, I am so sorry for your loss.  Your Mom was still young, but she is in a better place now.  I lost my mother last January, so I know how you feel.  My heart goes out to you and your family.

April,

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.

Praying for you and your family during this time!

I am so sorry for your loss. I know there are no words to say that will make this better. But I want you to know that those of us who were lucky enough to meet your Mom know that she was such a sweet and good person. Your goodness was a trait passed down from your mom and in that way she will live on. 

We love you. You and your family are in our thoughts.
