Dear Family,

Death, dear friends, is a time for tears mingled with the greatest sincerity in turning to our Heavenly Father, the hearer of prayer. Now as never before, pour out your heart in prayer for insight, and for strength.

The Bible encourages us to do just that , Peter says: "Throw all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7) How comforting are the words of God at Isaiah 57:15; "This is what the High and Lofty One, who is residing forever and whose name is holy, has said: 'In the height and in the holy place is where I reside, also with the one crushed and lowly in spirit."

The crushed one clings to the Father, dear friends, there is a greater intimacy than ever before. "The nearer you go to God, the nearer He will come to you," writes James. (James 4:8) James assures us that God is willing to give us the necessary wisdom and strength for recovery.

Remain close to God my dear family and He will continue to see you through this ordeal.

To The Family,
How blessed are we who put our faith in God, for no matter how difficult it is to bear the pain of parting, we have His promise that one day we'll be reunited with those who have gone before us to our heavenly home. In another home, in a happier place, in a beautiful forever..... you'll meet again. In Your Time of Loss May God's Promise Bring You Peace

Sorrowfully Submitted,

We will all miss Aunt Skeeter, listening to her stories and receiving her homemade craft projects. She loved winning at Bingo and her shopping sprees. Our prayers are with you all.
