Siento mucho por la pérdida de su ser querido, espero junto con su familia puedan superar este dolor con el tiempo..algo que me ha dado una esperanza es saber que quienes se han dormido en la muerte volverán a vivir.la Biblia dice en Hechos 24:15 " va a haber resurrección" espero que puedan hallar el consuelo que necesitan.

"I look beyond the stars to see,
Heaven's Gates waiting for me...
Angels chant their glorious voices from above,
Smiling down on God's creation filled with Love...
Although my journey here on earth has ended,
Treasured moments and happy memories fill my Heart with Love for each of you,
Awakening to God's shining Light as He leads me thru eternity with a Hug and Smile two by two!"
Rest in Peace Mrs. C. You touched my Heart in a very special way! We will miss you.
Love,
Laura
