May God comfort the family and friends who are left behind. I pray that you find solace in the many wonderful memories your undoubtedly left with. God bless you all.
The kind and gentle person she was, I’m sure the one who made her, realized how special she was, to be left in the midst of this world. She belongs to a place that is kind, a place that is away from all the hassles of this world. May her spirit experience celestial peace and heavenly bliss.
Mom, thank you for the sacrifices you made raising 7 children. Most of all, thank you for teaching us God’s word and believing in Jesus. Because of this, we know where you sit now and we are comforted knowing we will see you again. We have another ANGEL watching over us!
