Tia Carmen and cousins my condolences to all of you. There are no words to console you in this moment of grief. May the Lord Jesus thru His Holy Spirit comfort and strengthen you during this time of sorrow. Tia Carmen be rest assured that you were not left alone as I might imagine that you might feel. The Lord Jesus has promised in His Word that He would care for the widow and fatherless. May the Holy Spirit bless you with peace.
Psalms 68:5- A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is His holy habitation.
Love your niece and cousin,
Veronica Sanchez -Perales
