To Annie Amos & Family,

We of faith know that God doesn't make mistakes, but this does not ease the pain we feel when a loved one has passed on. Knowing that Momma Finch loved the Lord and walked in his Word, is assurance that she has moved on to a better place. I pray that you & your family will find comfort with the passing of time and may your pain cease and be replaced with happiness whenever you think of the many loving memories you shared with your mother. God's Blessing Always,

January 27, 2016

My deepest sympathy and prayers.
