To Brenda, Linda and Family:



I am sorry to hear about your loss. I just wanted you to know that you are in my prayers at this your time of sorrow and grief. Know in your heart that the Lord makes no mistakes. He saw that your mom was tired and that she had fought a good battle so he took her home with him so that she could get some rest. I know we don't understand sometimes but everything is done for a reason and just have peace in knowing that you will see her again one day.
