Wanda and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I know that in times like these, we are tempted to grow weary and overburdened with pain and heartache. Just remember that Jesus said "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest". Lean unto God for he will give you the peace that surpass all other.
