Dear David,Sandra and All of The Lorick Family,

I am saddened to know that you all have lost you dear Mother. You are in our prayers as you go through this time of mourning,reflection, and heartbreak. But her memory will always be there in your hearts .

GOD has said "well done, my good and faithful servant, YOUR work on earth is done" And the joy you all have is knowing that you can be reunited in eternal life when Christ comes back for those who are still watching and waiting and those sleeping HIM. For her," these chains are gone, she has been set free" and you have GOD TO COMFORT YOU AND FILL THIS HOLE IN YOUR HEART. He is merciful and kind and will never leave us.

I know that HE LIVES and WILL RETURN for us and that is the promised hope we have of eternal life.

As you see friends paying their last respects and the WORD spoken at her HOME GOING Celebration, may all of you feel the mighty hand of GOD rest upon you to see you through. Lean on HIM.

GOD BLESS AND KEEP EACH ONE OF YOU.
IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY
Shirley and Lanny Brazell
