Praying that you'll sense God’s presence
In this time of grief
And feel God’s love surrounding you
And know His inner peace
For God cares so much for you
And wipes each tear you cry
You never need to feel alone
For He’ll never leave your side

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of need. My memories of your mom is the kindness she always showed me. When she looked at me, it was though I was the only person on her very busy mind. She also took care of my daughter in the church nursery will I attended church.

Your mother showed me what it meant to be a church servant. She planned, organized and met every challenge placed before her with grace, love and no nonsense. May you each feel the love of the God she served as you grieve her passing.
God Bless,
