Rita and family,
My deepest condolences over the loss of your mother. May God grant you comfort and peace during this difficult time. Galatians 1:3. He is a comforter of all those who mourn. In His Word the Bible, we are encouraged to throw all our anxiety upon Him, because He cares for us, 1Peter 5:7. Isaiah 41:10; John 6:40; Revelation 21:3,4. May God’s loving-kindness be with you forever. Heartfelt prayers are with you.
Aunt Wanda was a very special lady. She was just a great example of how to be a super wife and mom. The years I spent in Lawrence brought me closer to her, and I am so grateful for that. Also, I am so happy for the times I have seen her during the last 10 years or so. Love to you, Rita. You will miss her. We will, too.
