Cherie and family–I am so sorry for your loss. I know your sweet Mother went through so much–as did your family caring for her–and that she will rest peacefully in heaven. That said, no one is ever really ready to let go–I know how that feels. I love you guys and miss you, and wish I were closer. Please know I’ll be holding you up in prayer and thoughts both tomorrow at the service, and in the coming difficult months.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing, “God himself … will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more. The former things have passed away”. Revelations 21:3, 4 May the comfort from the scriptures bring you peace, and the precious memory of your love one brings you joy.

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times
it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and
visual appeal. I must say that you’ve done a superb
job with this. Also, the blog loads very quick for me on Internet explorer.
Excellent Blog!
