Dear John and Joanne, I was so very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. It was very reassuring knowing that our next door neighbor had remained the same loving woman we could count on for decades.

John and Joanne-
I am so sorry about your mother. It was a joy to have Miriam as our next door neighbor. She was quick with a smile and loved being outside in her yard talking with neighbors- as long as it wasn't too cold! She could always be counted on for last minute ingredients and the latest sports news. She was a very sweet woman and will be sorely missed.

John and Joanne:

After Amelia's mom died, Amelia would come home from school and "keep" Miriam company so she wouldn't be lonely whereas in reality, it was the other way around. Your mom was a...

I am sorry for your lost. Our loving Heavenly Father collects our tears and remembers them. The scripture at Luke 7:11-15 helps me when Jesus raise a widows son from death. Jesus had in mind the life of the son but also the surviving family.
