Lit a candle in memory of Rosabelle Vester Cotton
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your dear loved one, Rosabelle. Please accept my condolences at this painful time. Losing a loved one is distressing and as comfort is needed from family and friends, it is my hope your family will find comforting the promise at Isaiah 258 where we are assured that death will be swallowed up forever. It is my hope your family will find strength to endure during the days ahead.
Dear Douglas, Jan, Russell, Philip and family, Richard, Michael, and I were so saddened when we learned of Aunt Rosabelle’s death, and were sorry we were not able to be at her service, as she held a very special place in our hearts. She and Uncle Dowd have left us with many treasured memories. We pray you are comforted by your wonderful memories, as well as, the knowledge she is now free of pain and reunited with the love of her life. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad and difficult time. With our deepest sympathy and love, Lynn (Andrews) Epps
