I'm praying for the loving arms of God to surround you with love and comfort. Our family has felt the pain of loss recently, and without the comfort from The Lord we could not endure it. God Bless and keep you

We cannot say how you feel or say we know what you are going thru, but we do mourn with you, pray for you. We also know that Gods way is not our way and sometimes we don't understand, but know that God Almighty will see you through this. May the Lord bless and hold you.

Little Angels -

When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, ?
We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.?
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child?
Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild?
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold, ?
So He picks a rosebud, before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so
He takes but few, ?To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.?
Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try,?
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye."?
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind?
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

From your YAYA, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU SO
Shelley Henderson
