To The Family

My Sincere and Deepest Sympathy. May the memories you have of your loved one bring you comfort in the days to come. God saw the road was getting rough; The hills were hard to climb, He gently closed her loving eyes and whispered, "Peace be Thine", The weary hours, the days of pain, The sleepless nights are passed. The ever patient, worn out frame Has found sweet rest at last. May these words also give you comfort, knowing that she is now in the presence of the Lord. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May the Peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. If He allows it He will give you the grace to go through it. God is FAITHFUL, He is our strength, comfort I am a witness. With God all things are possible to them that believe. Be forever encourage family and remember that He will never leave or forsake us. A REMINDER that GOD Loves you and He is concerned about the total Man.
