Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
The loss of a loved one causes deep pain. The Bible promises can bring comfort at this difficult time. Isaiah 269 says, He will actually swallow up death forever.
Brenda and family, I will miss Aunt Anne as I know you will. I have many fond memories of her with mother and with all the Edwards’ brothers and sisters. It is a grievous time for those left here, but I believe we will all sit at the same table again one day. With much love, Ellen Caldwell
