Dear Boshell family. I am so sorry to have read of the death of Colleen. Please accept my sincere condolences. I would like to share something that I have personally found to be comforting. It is found in the Bible at John 5:28, 29 and Revelation 21:4. These verses tell us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our dear loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering, including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my hope that these thoughts will comfort your family also.
Robbie, Linda, Marion and Byron we all will miss your mother dearly. Mama loved her just like she was her real sister. but aunt Colleen is in heaven now. and she wants all her family to join her in heaven someday. her suffering is over and she was a faithful Christian to the end.we are praying for you all during this sad time we know she is reaping her rewards now.
