Denise, Your mom was a very special woman who I admired and respected very much. I will remember her always present beautiful smile. She was probably one of the nicest people I've ever had the privilege of knowing. I am so very sorry that your heart is in such pain right now. I will pray for God to send you and your family peace and comfort.

To the family of Ms. Donna Kohlhorst,
I would like to express my sincere condolences for the loss of Ms. Kohlhorst.
We can look forward to the promise at 1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14 "we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death."
Sincerely,
T. Allen
