sister-in-law. Our hearts are deeply saddened and our thoughts are constantly with you during this difficult time. As we

precious family member. Our memories of her are fond and our prayers are that God will give you the comfort you seek and
that you may realize that you can lean on him to gain sufficient grace and strength to make it through the days ahead.
In closing, remember II Corinthians 12:9..."And he said unto me my grace is sufficient for you,for my strength

upon me."
