Dear Family,

I would like to express our sincere sympathy to you. Especially, my to my 3 beautiful friends Adrianne, Pat, and Iris. The smile that brightened every room that your mother walked in lives in all of you. Psalm 121 Look to the hills from whence cometh your help. All of your help comes from the Lord. He will preserve your coming in and going out from this time forth and forever more. We love you and you are in our prayers. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Family,
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Although we've only known her for a few years, she touched our lives and blessed us with her kind spirit and loving smile.

Dear Family,
Martha and I worked together for many years at the hospital. It was Martha who took me under her wing and showed me the ropes in our department. I hope I made her proud, doing the work as she taught me. We laughed and ate and worked together and became friends. I shall miss her too. May the Lord's grace comfort you at this time.
