So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
“With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
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".
Dear Shelly and Martin
I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I wish I could have seen you both. Your mother was a kind and generous person. I have fond memories your family. You have been in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry to learn of your Mothers passing. She was always so sweet. We worked together at Marvell Water Deot many years ago. So very honest and kind. Prayers for you and your families.
Sending love and prayers from your family in WA, RIP Aunt Sue.
My deceased husband, Henry King ADORED his cousin Sue. We visited Shelby and Sue often, and they always made us feel so welcome in their home. After Henry quit smoking, he tried hard to convince Sue that SHE also needed to quit, and SUE would shake her head and say (in that slow, very southern drawl), "Now Henry, you've gotta let me alone about that!". Of all of his cousins, Sue was my absolute favorite, mainly because she was genuine, generous, and gentle.....and not easily provoked. It was a pleasure and a privilege to have known Sue. Condolences to the family.
So sorry for your loss. Mrs. Sue was was such a sweet women. Losing our Mom is not an easy task. Prayers for you all.
Heaven has gained another angel. Fly high dear sweet friend. We love you and thank you for being a part of our lives. Sincerely, William & Margie McPherson
