To the Family,
Truly I know that your hearts are filled with sorrow. When your heart is greived, so is the heart of the one who loves you (GOD). Allow your grief to be turned into prayers which allows God to put his arms around you. The word of God states, " Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted".
Trust God for your peace. Look to God and remember His promise (my Peace I leave, my peace I give. Never will I leave you).
My continual prayers will be with the family.
Trusting in Him

Your gentle face and patient smile with sadness we recall, you had a kindly word for each and died beloved by all.
The voice is mute and stilled the heart that loved us well and true, ah, bitter was the trial to part from one so good as you. You are not forgotten love one nor will you ever be, as long as life and memory last we will remember thee. We miss you now, our hearts are sore as time goes by we miss you more, your loving smile, your gentle face, no one can take your vacant place.
