Jackie, blessings to you and your family this week. Your Mom clearly left a great legacy and I am confident that she is now receiving her eternal reward for her faithfulness. I want you to know that I really appreciate your quiet dignity and professionalism at work. You are a blessing to us too.
Lord, at the moment nothing seems to be able to help the loss I feel.
My heart is broken and my spirit mourns.
All I know is that Your grace is sufficient.
This day, this hour
Moment by moment
I choose to lean on You,
For when I am at my weakest Your strength is strongest.
I pour out my grief to You
And praise You that on one glorious day
When all suffering is extinguished and love has conquered
We shall walk together again.
Jackie & Family,
Wishing peace to bring you comfort, and courage to face the days ahead. My heart and thoughts remain with you. I will continually pray for you and your family.
Cherry & Rhonda, I am sad to hear of the passing of Sam. I’ll miss that smile of his and his wit. We’ve lost another of our classmates way to young. Thoughts and prayers to you both.
My heart aches. I will miss you little buddy. I hold dear all my memories of our weekend get togethers, your twinkling blue eyes and of course all the auction shenanigans. Until we meet again, much love your way. My condolences to the family. Sam has left a big void in many hearts with his passing.
Rhonda,
We are sorry to learn of the loss of your brother, Sam.
Hold the special memories of him close to your heart.
May God grant you peace at this time.
