Lisa, I can only imagine the pain, sorrow, and saddness that you are experiencing at this most difficult time, but trust and believe that God does see and know all that you are feeling, and as long as you have faith in Him and his Holy word "ALL WILL BE ALRIGHT". Lisa, God places no more on you than you can handle, all He ask is that "YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD ON TO HIS UNCHANGING HAND" amd HE will lead you on, for he has said "BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN FOR THEY SHALL BE COMFORTED". Lisa, I love you and I convey unto you my heartfelt sympathy, as I keep you and yours in my prayers.
