To the Bonds Family,
My condolences to you in the loss of your loved one. I've known Sister Bonds (as we refer to her at Church) all of my life. So many of the older women of the Church helped to shape me into the lady I am today and she contributed to that through her kindness and loving spirit. Sister Bonds, you will be truly missed.

To the Bond Family
You have our deepest sympathy.
When I Come Home To Heaven
When I come home to Heaven
How joyful it will be!
For on that day al last
My risen Lord I'll see.
No greater happiness than
To see Him face to face,
To see the love in His eyes
And feel His warm embrace.
I've done nothing to deserve
That perfect home above.
It was given freely through
The grace of Jesus'love.
Then why should earthly cares
Weigh down upon me so?
They'll be a distant memory
When home at last I go.

To Kenny and the rest of the Bonds family,
You have my deepest sympathy. Mom was a true mother and she will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to tell her that. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and I know she is resting in his arms. Look to the hills from which cometh our help, all of our help comes from the Lord.
