Lydia, Cindy, & Family,
Isn't it wonderful to have the peace that passes all understanding? We know the God of all Comfort will be with each of you and He will provide all that you stand in need of during this time. It is truly a blessing to "know" the Lord Jesus and to trust him through all of life's sorrows. "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Phl. 4:7
Love in Christ Jesus, Bill & Kathryn Barkley
