A L I can't remember a time when you weren't part of our lives and I hope and pray I never do. You were one of the smartest people I ever knew. I learned alot from you about cars-lawn mowers and working on things in general. However, I learned more about helping people and kindness and loyalty and love than I did anything else and for that I will always be grateful. I'm really gonna miss you. You will always be in my heart. I love you dearly. Deb

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. As a Christian, I know we need comfort from the Scriptures. Below are some that I personally find very consoling and I hope you do to.
"Blessed be . . . the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation."-2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.
"You are opening your hand and satisfying the desire of every living thing."-Psalm 145:16.
"He [God] has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead."-Acts 17:31.
"I-I myself am the One that is comforting you people."-Isaiah 51:12.
"Like a man whom his own mother keeps comforting, so I myself shall keep comforting you people."-Isaiah 66:13.
"This is my comfort in my affliction, for your own saying has preserved me alive. I have remembered your judicial decisions from time indefinite, O Jehovah, and I find comfort for myself. May your loving-kindness serve, please, to comfort me, according to your saying to your servant."-Psalm 119:50, 52, 76.
"The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life."-John 5:28, 29.
