So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "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. (4)
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".
Sending love and prayers to all of the Flake family from the Goodall’s, Brown’s and Majors. Shirley was one of a kind. We enjoyed lots of laughter with her and loved her very much. You’ll be in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Sara
