I am so sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort be your strength during this time of sorrow. I hope to offer you comfort by assuring you that God keeps in his memory those whom we lose because they are precious in his eyes. (Psalm 116:15)

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Marj started at the St. Petersburg Post Office 2 weeks before I did and this Christmas will be the first in 36 years that I will not receive a card with a thoughtful note from this dear, sweet woman. She spent so much time sharing her crochet secrets with me and I will never forget her. So sorry that we were never able to hook up and go to a Rays game together. Marj is bowling with the angels in heaven and I will always think of her when I hear the roar of thunder.
