Mrs. Pegram and loved ones,heartfelt condolences to you in your time of sorrow. We may not fully understand why God allows us to undergo a particular trial, but be assured He is with us through out the ordeal. Remember the faithful servant Job and all he endured, surely our heavenly Father provided the strength he needed; and so too for you, dear family, He will see you through this hardship you are enduring.

Jesus said: "He that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved."-Matthew 10:22; 24:13. Let us dear friends maintain our endurance so we can be with our loved ones in the end.

Christian Love,
