God will get you through this, as he did with us when Daddy and Charles left us for their heavenly home. We will be here if you need us.

I am so sorry about Dan's passing. All my prayers and deepest sympathy are with you.

Dear Shirley, I am truely praying for you and family. One thing that has help me with my mother and I would like you to read this and I hope it will help you in time to come. We will never experience the completeness of our ultimate selves in this life. Not until after death. For most people in this world, that would be a terrifying thought. But not for God's children. Rather than looking ahead with alarm or fear, the prospect of reaching our highest pinnacle when we are in our heavenly home in the company of our heavenly Father should fill our hearts with joyful anticipation. Especially when we understand that Jesus himself has gone on ahead to prepare for us a special place. He is looking forward to our coming. Shirley know that I love you and your family. And I know Dan is waiting for us. Love JoEtta
