A prayer of Peace and Wisdom comes to mind at this time. "God grant us the serenity to accept the things WE can not change, the courage to change the things WE can, and the WISDOM to know the DIFFERENCE. Treasure the memories and know that Psalm 23 is true... Indeed, The Lord is Our Shepherd, a COMFORTER that understands and knows our every thought.
Please know that my prayers will be with you, knowing that God is in total control. God Bless...
