Tom, Sharon, and Jeff:
Heartfelt grief over your loss. She was like a mother to me at one time in my
life and I will never forget the times spent around the table over plates heaped high with her lasagna. It was a wonderful
time in my life and I will never forget her. May she rest in peace and God comfort you all in your time of loss.

I'm sorry
to read about the loss of your loved one Gertrude. Death is like a theif that takes away our loved ones. Or, due to old age
and sickness, we lose that precious quality of life that leads to death. The bible always offer comfort for us in times like
this. Phil 4:7 say God has the Peace to excel all thought. May that Peace be with you family. May these verses be encouraging
to you!
Psalm 37:29 & Rev.21:1-5
