Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal.

To Sis Gertrude Bolden, our mother in the Lord, We are praying for you and the Bolden Family. God in his wisdom has allowed a long life with

some rain but certainly much Joy. Jesus declares he'll be a husband, a brother, a father, a friend for

you when you cast all your cares upon him. The love of Christ wipes our tears away. May the comfort of our Lord Keep each of you in Peace.
