God reminds us in Hebrews 13:5 "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee". God is with us and He is in control, lean on Him for strength and understanding. While the loss of Jose cannot ever be replaced, the hole is amazingly filled with God's love through others He sends, especially when you need it the most... Even though God knows what you need, He still wants to hear you ask for it, just as a parent likes to hear a child ask them since it is affirmation of your trust and love for Him.



God's peace to you all now and always.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. Life must feel so unfair he was so young to be taken from us but the place up above must be so glorious and beautiful and someday when we are call we will understand. May God bless you and give you courage and strength during this time.



Love,Cency,John and Chelsea Santana

Dear Maria, family and friends:

In these uncertain times, let us pull together, love God, love one another, and put our trust in the One who plans to give us hope and a future. Until we all meet again in His glory. May Cheo rest in peace.

Below is a prayer I came across this morning and wish to share with all of you. Love, Nancy



PRAYER FOR LIGHT IN DARKNESS

O GOD who frees us from death, give us courage to live life fully and unashamedly.

When we are entombed, free us.

When we are distracted, help us to focus on life.

When we are obsessed, liberate us.

May we find joy in service to your people.

May we find light in darkness.

May we find life in death. Amen.
