You mother was such a good friend to my mom at Morning Point. She was such a gentle woman and it was a joy to get to know her a little bit. Thankful that her passing was gentle and will be praying for all the family as you grieve this and learn to live with this temporary parting.

May the Lord comfort and shepherd you all as you grieve Enith's passing and simultaneously celebrate her going to be with Jesus. "Lord we thank you for Enith, her faith, her love, her character, and the way she impacted many. Bring to mind memories of special times together, and guide each one as we release her to paradise and being reunited with John, family and friends. Bless and keep the family now today and in this season as they celebrate for Enith, and yet grieve their loss.
Praying for you all,
