We are so sorry to hear of my cousin Karen's passing. Since we moved to Florida five years ago, I was always going to try to meet up with her for lunch. I'm so sorry I didn't. We should never take each day for granted. Thinking of all of you at this sad time.

A Prayer for my sister. Dear heavenly Father, I go before you today Completely trusting in your goodness and mercy.I appeal to your loving spirit to watch over my sister. I praise you for her life and her soul. Thank you for her presence in my life. Look upon my sister with your tenderness and grace. If she hurts, bring her healing, if she's afraid, give her courage, if she has fallen lift her up in forgiveness. And most of all, dear Lord, Let her know she is loved, let her know I love her, let her know you love her, and let love heal even her deepest wounds. Give her confidence knowing she is your child. Oh heavenly Father, embrace my sister's heart. Bless her my Lord. Let her be healthy, free and protected in the strength of your Loving arms. In Jesus name, Amen

Pat and Family:
Words cannot express the sadness felt for the loss of your wife and mother. May God wrap his arms around you and know that He is there. Five words in the Lord's Prayer which offer hope: "For Thou art with me."
God's Peace and comfort be with you all during this time.
