Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5,
Terry, God will comfort you and give you the strength you need to get through the loss of your grandmother. This is not something I think, this is something I know. Just keep your faith strong and trust in our Lord and Savior.
We love you and if there is anything we can do for you and your family, let us know!

Exodus 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
A precious one from us is gone
A voice we loved is still
A place is vacant in our home
Which can never be filled.
Your memory is a keepsake
With which we will never part
Though God has you in his keeping
We will always have you in our hearts.
To The Coleman Family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. May your memories of Aunt Celia bring you comfort. God Bless!!
