"God is good, and He loves goodness; the godly shall see His face - Ps.11:7
I know that your dear Mom has seen His face and the glow is reflecting on all of you as you remember all your happy family times together.
I am so sorry that I did not find out about her death until 7/12 - Elaine - I love you dearly and want so very much for you to know that my heart goes out to you in prayer and sympathy.

Elaine & Family,
I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. I was on vacation and did not know until we returned. My heartfelt sympathy is with you and your family. Doreatha was the kind of lady everybody loved and I will never forget the lunch she made us at her house. I never saw so much food for a lunch in my life! She was so kind, considerate, thoughtful and sweet. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers and may God grant you peace and comfort in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Marilyn
