My deepest condolences over the loss of Juanita. Some people touch our lives in such wonderful ways that words cannot truly express their worth. To say she will be missed does not begin to express how we feel. Cherish your memories. May they comfort you during this difficult time. May the God of all comfort dwell in your heart and strengthen you. May the resurrection hope bring you peace. 2Corinthians 1:3,4; John 11:11, 21-26; Matthew 5:5. You are in the thoughts and prayers of many.
Some people nurture everyone and everything they touch in life. Juanita was one of them; full of care for every living thing – her flowers, her garden, and her family and her friends. Her kind, brisk, practical help never failed to touch my heart; and I know how much she will be missed by Charlie, Bob, MIke and his wife Lucy. To them we send love across ’the pond’ and to God our thanks for His gift of Juanita.
So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. When someone you love dies, it leaves an empty spot in your hearts which could never be filled by any other person. What a wonderful gift we have from God in memories. When you close your eyes, you can see and remember your mother just as she was when she was happy and healthy. Soon, in a new world of God’s making, all pain, suffering and sickness will be gone forever, Revelation 21:3, 4. Hope these words bring you comfort and hope along with family and friends.
I was very sorry to see Juanita had passed away, our thoughts and prayers are with the family. She was always a very nice person to talk to and although we didn’t visit much, we will miss having her down the road from us. May God bless your family and comfort you.
