Karen and family,

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Although you can take comfort in that she is no longer suffering; there is still a hurt and void when loved ones leave us. I hope that knowing so many are thinking of you and praying for you will help in a small way.

Dear Karen and Family of Herniette R. Michalski:

Even when we know it is coming, the death of a loved one is so shocking. Grief rolls over us like the waves of the sea, and, if we are not careful, we become so lonely in a world that we have never lived in without "that one."

Your valiant mother, wife, relative and friend has fought the good fight.
She has won her battle with pain and suffering. Her victory is your's as well. Rejoice that she has gone where there is no more death and there are no more tears.

In the meantime, remember her and cry and laugh. It is the sure sign that you have loved and been loved
in return.

There is a God who makes all things new--and right again. He promised.

Blessings,
brenda
