To the Family,
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know."
John 14:1-4
To my Aunt Naomi and Cousin Clarence,
Deepest sympathy in the loss of Bill. May the Lord comfort you in this time of need, and may the prayers and thoughts of your family and friends ease your pain. God bless you.
Love,
Melanie Burney
