Venita, Donna, Jacklyn, Brandi and family:
It is with profound sadness that I send my sympathy for your loss.
I find that with each passing of friends and loved ones my heart hurts more deeply for those who are left behind. I know that as strong Christians in time we will find a way to turn our grief into grace.
I rejoice not in the passing of Venisa but in the knowledge that she has at long last gone home to our Lord.
I will celebrate her life as it was and glorify the life she will now enjoy. One of no pain, sorrow, illness or the disappointments of this world.
I am comforted by and in time you will be as well, the fact that she is now resting in the arms of THE FATHER and is being serenaded by angels.
You are now as always in my prayers and so you shall remain.
God Bless and comfort you in this time of heart breaking sorrow.
Love to you all.
