I am so sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God's Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.

to my wonderful mom, I miss you so much. You were the best example of what a mom should be, teaching by example, loving our Lord and serving him in any way you could. You never knew how special you were. You would ask me why people thought you were so special.. my response was "mom your kidding, right. You had your life in the right order. God first, family and friends second and self last. I am so proud of you and hope I will make you proud of me .I love you always and rejoice you are no longer in pain and with our Lord and loved ones who have gone before you. I know I will see you again and look foward to the being togeather as family again. untill then my sweet sweet mom. Thank you for everything

My heart is breaking.for you. Just know that I love all of you dearly and my family is praying for you at this time. and Gordon it goes without saying, she was loved like a sister and daughter by our family. She is finally united with all three of her beloved sons, and that is one family renuion I am looking forward to. She loved all of her children and grandchildren so much and was one of the best Mother's I have ever known. The pictures brought me back to all of the wonderful times we had growing up together. We had the best of both worlds and we knew it. Every teenager should have the privelidge of being welcomed to crash at your mother and grandmother's house. I am sad for Peggy too. Please tell her that I am thinking about her. We had such good times chumming together as kids. To Wilma, Mary and Vera, Grandma Dodd and all of you felt like family and you have always been a bright spot in my life. Gordon, she was one of a kind and I am so sorry you have lost her too soon. Trust in the Lord and let his comfort and peace enfold all of you. You have had too much heartache in such a short time, but our Saviour is faithful. We were priveliged to have had Carolyn in our lives. Much love and Prayers, your sister and Aunt Ruthie.
