It is with the deep grief that we give up our loved ones to death. Still it is a path that we will all have to take. The grief lossing our loved ones is so great, that we sometimes wonder if we can made it throu this morning period. It helps if we go to our faith, & depend on our God & Savior… Jehovah tells us that he is near to those who are broken hearted,& those who are crushed in spirit. (Ps. 3418) Jesus said that I am the resurrection & the life. (John 1125) What a wonderful gift we have been givin, to have the hope of seening our loved ones again.
Amanda My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Keep your memories of the ggod times fresh in your mind. Ginny Kammer
Debbie, Fairy’s battle with cancer is now over, but I doubt that it makes your heart any less heavy having lost your sister that you loved so much. She knew that she was loved very much by you and her caring family. You were a kind and supportive sister. I am certain that helped her through it all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of grief. I hope that fond memories and knowing that one day you will see your sister again will give you peace. May God be with you and your family.
So sorry to hear of the loss of such a sweet person and a relative through the Eason family. May the knowledge that she’s at perfect peace now give you comfort. Dan Moore, Red Oak
Amy Woody and Family, Though your hearts are heavy with the loss of your sister and friend, I am praying that you will be comforted by God’s peace and your warm and loving memories of Fairy.
