It is never easy to lose a loved one, I pray you find comfort in Gods promise found at John 6:40 which says that soon we will see all our loved ones again. My deepest condolences to the family.

My cousin Mildred was one of the most positive and upbeat people I ever met. She was always cheerful and smiling. As long as I knew her, she was an absolute joy to be around. I did not get to see her very much because of the distance we lived apart. I always looked forward to seeing her at reunions and any other family get togethers. Peggy and I will miss her and we will remember her as long as our memories function. I know she was tired and ready to go meet her Lord and Savior. What a wonderful life she lived and we were not ready to let her go. May she rest peacefully until that Great day.
