Weeping remains for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning Psalm 30:5 I truly loved my Aunt Christine and will always hold fond memories near and dear to my heart. She always made me laugh no matter what. She was one unique woman. She fulfilled her purpose here on earth and now the Lord has come to take her home so that she may rest in His arms. This brings me comfort You my dear Christine have Peace You are no longer in pain no longer suffering I close my eyes and see your smile along with the angels. God Bless the family and friends reading this and I hope that you find comfort as I have knowing that she is in the arms of her Father. Amen <3
