Gwen and Family

You have our deepest sympathy. Please know that god's love surrounds you at your time of pain as does mine. Cousin Bea was a very sweet person and kind person. I know she will be truely be missed.

They stood around my bedside,
Sad faces and forlorn:
Saying my case was hopeless
They all began to mourn.

I felt so sorry for them
In their helpless state
No comfort for their burden:
Death standing at my gate.

Here is a message to you brethren
Face the challenge without fear.
Just call the name of Jesus
He's the friend who's always near.

Love always Ramona and Family
