To Sandra K.

Look to the hills from which cometh your health, your health cometh from the Lord which made heavens and earth.

Sandra K. you may not understand it right now, but Josh was in God's plan. Ask God to give you strength to accept what he allowed.

The devil thought he had Josh, but he got away and he's going to a better place.

I know it's not going to be easy, but God will carry you through.
If you get weak read St. John 14 Chapter and pray.

You have my moral support Sandra K , I am just a phone call away, don't hesitate to say.

The road looks like it rough, but Sandra K. God will not put no more on you than you can bear.

May God continue to bless you and your family.

God is the only one that can give you peace in the midst of a storm.

God call his little child Josh home.
Love you,

Sis Mary Edmonds
