Harold and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your mom's accident. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Our God's grace is sufficient and I know he will supply the need of grace and comfort for you and family.
Love and Prayers,
John and Diane Richardson
Praying for the family. At times like these, God's promises are especially sweet.
So sorry for the loss of your Mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Just a note to Harold & Lisa from your friends in Pryor, Ok. We pray that God's full peace and comfort are upon you in these trying days of sorrow. Sorry that we cannot come to the services but just know that we care about your situation love you both.
When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set on me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little–but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me–but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take,
And each must go alone.
It’s all a part of the Master’s plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
Go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me–but let me go. ~Author Unknown
Please know you are in our heart and prayers.
We are sorry to hear about your loss. Sickness has robbed us of our loved ones resulting in their death. May these scriptures bring you all comfort. Isaiah 33:24 promises ,"And no resident will say: “I am sick.” The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error." When Jesus was on earth he healed the sick and raised the dead. At John 11:25 "Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." What a wonderful hope we can look forward to and may God strengthened you in the days ahead.
