Dear Anjie,

I am so very sorry to hear about your loss.

Death may leave a heartache that is very hard to heal; but love leaves a memory that no one can steal.

And remember: The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.

God bless you and yours,

Beth Berkemer
