“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”– 1 Corinthians 2:9 – If what they say and what Ive been told is true, then as sad as I am for all of us left behind I am happy for you. You’re in a place with no more pain or struggle, warm with a beautiful view where you can see everything so clearly and walk for miles and hours taking in every sight and breathing easy. Rest In Peace my angel, you deserve every moment of it.

Kathy: I know that no words can help ease the pain and loss that you are feeling right now. You are in my every prayer and thought.
It’s the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you’ll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles. May the love of the people around you help you through your pain.

We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your lovely mother. She was a remarkable woman who raised an incredibly wonderful family. She taught her children well. She always had a quick smile and made everyone feel welcome. We pray that you each will be comforted knowing that your Mom has truly moved past the pain of this world and into the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. No more pain, no more tears! May God grant you peace, comfort and strength!
