To my precious Ginette and Family,

I just wanted you to know that I am praying for you during this very difficult time. I know I cant take the hurt away, but I can ask the Lord to hold you close to his heart and strengthen you. Just remember his love will see you through this dark valley. Take one moment at a time and remember your loved one would not want you to carry this sorrow because he loved you. Remember he is as close to you as the most treasured memory. May you feel the Lords arms around you. May you find peace in this storm. I send all my love as I lay your sorrow at the feet of Jesus.



Love and prayers always,
Moranda and John Nichols
