My prayers are with My Dear Petra family, hold on to God's unchanging hands and know that your mother is in no more pain. " Your Smiling Face" God looked around His garden And saw an empty space. He then looked down to earth ,and saw your smiling face. God's garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best. For an unknown reason He took you up to heaven, and shielded you with grace. It broke all of our hearts to see you go, But you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

I will be praying the love of God enfolds each of you during your journey through grief as I send you thoughts of comfort. My visits with Petra were always a blessing when I worked for Comfort Keepers
