I am so happy that you excepted The Lord when Uncle Ronnie came to see you a couple of years ago. It comforts me to know that you went the correct way in life for the last two years as you got closer to The Lord. I feel that made the difference in us rebuilding our relationship. Life was good those last years and I am so sorry you had to be in pain. It comforts me to know you no longer are suffering and in no more pain

God's support and strength will get you through your loss. Those of you that were with her near the end should feel the comfort that you gave her knowing you were close by her side. So very important and something you can hold on to forever. God be with you and know that she is in his hands now. Much love, Betty Wright
