We were very sorry to hear of your loss. Pat sent numerous "get well" cards to our daughter, Bonnie, when she had her surgeries. Bonnie herself remembers her fondly for this. Praying for you, and may the Lord be your comfort.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words
