Dear Sonia and Family
Heartfelt condolences. While it is hard to lose any member of your family, mothers are a one shot deal and as a result, a much tougher loss. I hope that many memories of good times spent together will be a source of comfort to all of you.
Love to you and yours,
Harriet

Dear Sonia and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of saying a temporary goodbye to your dear Mother. We know she is at peace after the years of toil and labor and is now with our loving Lord..."To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." May you all be strengthened during this time.
Continued prayers from Tom, Pearlene and family.

We offer our sincere condolences to Enid's daughter Sonia and the rest of Enid's family. We have loved Enid dearly and shared a lot of happy moments with her. We are so sad to see her go but I am sure the angels are singing and the Lord is smiling and saying, "well done!". Enid is now where she has always wanted to be, in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; who is the king of Kings and the Lord of Lords!.

Dear Family,
As you walk though this time, special thoughts and prayers that the Lord will surround you with His love and that His presence will fill you with His peace. Mother Sterns was a part of the Prayer Ministry at Grace Deliverance Baptist Church, Bethlehem, where she influenced many with her encouraging words and prayers. She was my friend and prayer partner. Many memories floods my mind of the lovely luncheons we enjoyed together after our Friday Noon day prayer meetings. We would just laugh and have the best time of our lives. She could be quiet funny. Jesus was the center of her life, her best friend. And now, she is with her best friend, Jesus. “Absent from the body…present with the Lord.” She is at peace. Family, be encouraged.
