Rex: I looked at my watch and realized the service for your mother was being held. I have sat where you sit. It is painful to come to an end of an era. I am thinking and praying for you and your family.
I'm so sorry to hear of Janet’s passing. 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
So sorry for the loss of your loved one. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers during this time.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family.
We are praying for you. May God comfort you and give you peace!
Please know that I am asking The Holy Spirit to pour His peace and contentment, comfort and joy, down over you all, like warm honey. She was a lovely southern lady. Thank you all for sharing her with so many, including me. Libbie. Phil. 4:13
So thankful for Nana and so thankful she is in Heaven. Can’t wait to see her again one day.
So sorry to learn of Janet's passing. Her family members and friends are in our prayers.
