Heartfelt condolences from a former Arkansan. Remember Ms. Margaret well. Sorry long ways out now from BMAA, but God reaches us everywhere. Prayers for the right wording for Bro Sonny .
So sorry for the loss of your mother Norma and Susie. Margaret was a wonderful lady and friend. We cherished her and Normans friendship. She sure could quilt some beautiful quilts. God bless each of you, give you comfort, peace, strength and encouragement during this difficult time.
So sorry to read the obituary of your dear loved one. Death is certainly an enemy that take those we love leaving so much hurt and emptiness of heart. We are not left without hope, because Almighty God cares for us and will soon remove all pain. suffering and death forever. (Revelation 21:3-4; and 1 Peter 5:7)
Norma & family,
So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless each of you.
