Dear Jean, Rita and families,
It is a very hard thing to lose your mom, and I’m so sorry you are experiencing this loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God has a miraculous way of carrying us through our toughest hour, pouring on His love and grace and pulling us close up in His arms. My prayer for you is that you will feel His presence and love in very real ways throughtout the next few days and weeks. I know that Aunt Glenna knew how much she was loved by all the care and help and love you showed her. You are both very good daughters!! I love you and my heart hurts for you. I’m so sorry we cannot be there, but know I’m praying for you.
With Much Love,
Denise

Dear Rita, Thank you for letting me know about your Mother’s home going. The older we get the more there will be to welcome us when we finally enter that “gated community”. We really have so much to look forward to: no death, no sorrow, no sickness, no pain, no sin! Praise the Lord for His blood that cleanses us from all sin. The God of all comfort is true to His Word.
Your Friend,
Char Large
