Dear Harry, Savina, Casey, Montgomery, and family:

With deep sadness I write you, expressing our sympathy at such a fragile time. I want you to know that our hearts are with you and we are keeping you all in our prayers. Please be comforted to know that your mother/grandmother is in perfect peace and is not hurting or crying or sad, but rather rejoicing in the Lord with gladness, as she receives the crown of life promised her through Jesus.

As you grieve, missing her so very much, we pray that the very same love and peace that she is experiencing right now, will fill your hearts as well, bathing you in the assurance that she is in His arms and is ok.

May you be strong and confident of this, as you face the days ahead.

God smiled as he watched you care for her and love her

in so many special and beautiful ways. You can rest assured that you did all that you were supposed to do, and then, when it was her time to "fly away" unto glory, the circle of life was made complete, and you will see her again one day.

It will be okay.

We love you and are here for you.

The following is a prayer that my mother had printed on a memorial card for my father when he passed away 35 years ago. I hope that you can take solace from it in the same manner it comforted me. Knowing that Jane is now in a better place. She was truly special and we always enjoyed her company and will long remember her hearty laugh. Our prayers and wishes are with you all.



We seem to give them back to Thee, O God, who gavest them to us. Yet as thou didst not lose them in giving, so do we not lose them by their return. Not as the world giveth, givest Thou, O Lover of Souls. What Thou givest, Thou takest not away, for what is thine is ours also if we are Thine. And life is eternal and love is immortal, and death is only an horizon, and an horizon is nothing, save the limit of our sight. Lift us up strong Son of God, that we may see further; cleanse our eyes that we may see more clearly; draw us closer to Thyself that we may know ourselves to be nearer to our loved ones who are with Thee. And while Thou dost prepare a place for us, prepare us alsos for that happy place, that where Thou art we may be also for evermore.

Dear KC, Savina & family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. The following was given to me when I lost my mother. Reading this always makes me feel close to her. I hope that it does for you, too.

I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were together, that we are still. Call me by name. Speak to me in the easy way you always did. Laugh as you always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it always was. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you for an interval, somewhere very near - just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before - only better, infinitely happier and forever - we will all be one together with Christ.



With deepest sympathy and much love,

Merry

My prayer is that ALL of you are bringing sunshine to one another while honoring your beloved mother, Jane. I will hold you VERY CLOSE over the coming hours and days ahead.

KC and Savina and family:

What can anyone say at this time? No words can really heal the pain as much as time will. Know that you were both wonderful children to Jane, and that all of you were so very lucky to be as close to each other and have each other should bring you all some comfort. You are all loved by so many people, as was your mother, but no one was luckier than she was to have the two of you and your families love her. God Bless you all!!

Love Ron
