I remember when we were looking for somone one to take care of mom when she became sick and was truly blessed when Janeice was able to come to our aid. This was given to me when mom passed - I hope it will encourage you. "We give our loved ones back to God just as He first gave them to us. We did not 'loose' them in the giving, so they are not 'lost' in the returning of them back to Him! Life is eternal, love is immortal. Death is only a horizon beyond our sight & touch. They are waiting for us on the other side. Time isn't counted by years! God and Heaven seem close after we are separated, for a time from our loved ones.

We are only a phone call away! We love you so much and am praying for you!

Love, Deborah and James

Dear Father, i ask that you touch Ebony, Janice, Dennis, Betty, Barbara, and enbrace them in their time of sorry. Your word is true - you said you would never leave us or forsake us. Your word says You are a present help in the time of trouble. Be a constant presence in their life. When there are no words that can be said, may your arms, Dear Father, reach out and pull them close to your bosom - may they draw strength from you knowing you feel their pain and each tear that is shed.
