As I light this candle, remember, through a dark tunnel there is a light at the end. Always remember to: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not to your own understandings and in all your ways acknowledge GOD for he will direct your path and he will comfort and strengthen you during your time of bereavement.
Love as always, Jo
Monticello, FL
