Carmen, Charles and Gerald: So sorry to learn of the passing of "Mrs. B". I cherish the memories we had hanging out at your house in high school. I think Ms. B is the only mother who could put up with a house full of teenage boys! May she rest in peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies. One of the greatest causes of grief is the loss of a loved in death, especially of a beloved mate or a parent. Our hearts may be broken and crushed (Psalms 51:17), but the God of all comfort promised he will supply us with endurance and the strength to cope (Romans 15:5).
