My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there is a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

She was the Last of the Powell Clan. She always had a smile and a sweet Christian Lady. She will be missed by everyone that knew her.
