To the family ... your loved one will always be as close as a memory and the God of all comfort is always as close as a prayer. It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now,it will be the memory of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. Praying for you strength in the Lord during this difficult time.
