So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" ( 3) Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, (4 ) who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God

I'm so sorry to hear of Freddie Mae’s. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW

Roane and Leigh Ann,
My heart breaks for you both. I pray that the seed of faith in Christ that your mother planted in you both as kids will allow God to comfort you in this very sad moment in your lives. I loved your mother very much and you all were always like family to me. I have so many fond memories of all the times I spent with you guys. From your daddy reading to me and letting me go pick out a toy to your mom watching Atlanta Braves games with me and letting me get cookies out of that cookie jar she always had. I'm so very sorry
