Not sure what to say?

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. There is little that I can say or do to ease your pain. Please lean on God for comfort during this difficult time because not only does He understands your grief and pain, He cares very deeply for you. (1 Peter 5:6,7)

I send my sympathy to the family. May the Almighty God who binds up the broken hearts and comfort all who mourns sustain you during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1

You and yours are in prayers.
Our deepest sympathy to her family and friends who will miss her dearly.

Joan was a gentle lady. I will miss her sweet smile. Our loss is Heaven's gain.
My deepest sympathy to the family.

Joan was one of a kind - always so nice and quick with a smile. I'll miss seeing her up at the pool, the herb festival and around Linthicum. Sorry for your loss.

Heaven got a new Angel.
We Love You, Gran.
Love, Chip, Bren & Zach xoxox
