Blessed are they that die in the Lord for their works due follow them. Yvonne, it may seem as though things are coming to an end for you right now because its only been a few months since you released your mom into the arms of God, now your grandmother. But be assured that God knows. He will never leave you nor forsake you, just lean on him for strength. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family that God will carry you through. But as the song writer says: Be not dismayed whatever be tide, God will take care of you; beneath his wings of love abide, God will take care of you. I'm only a phone call away. May be the blessings of the Lord be with you and your family not only today, but in the days to come.
