Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Jeanette will always hold a special place in my heart, after all, for many years we were neighbors. She took me to school when my dad was disabled when I was young, she took all the children to the falls to explore nature and a lot of special memories were shared with her family. I remember this sweet lady. You will have many crowns when you meet the King in heaven. With heartfelt sympathy. Sandra
Few things in life will ever affect us more deeply than the death of a loved one. Afterwards, you may have to be contending with a range of emotions that you never before experienced. Death affects each person differently. Indeed, the Bible says that each one has his own plague & his own pain.(2 Chron. 629) Crying is not a sign of weakness. Even such strong men as Abraham, Joseph, David, & Jesus shed tears when they were grieving.- Gen. 232; Gen. 501; 2 Samuel 111,12; Samuel 1833; John 1135. Grief can be like waves that crashed ashore at unexpected moments. This is normaleven if it occurs years after your loved ones death. Dont hold back the tears! Crying helps ease the pain of grief. People grief in different ways. The important thing is this If you feel tears welling up, realize that it may be A time to weep (Ecc. 34) Jesus Christ was a perfect man who had strong faith in God. Yet, he Gave way to tears over the death of his friend, Lazarous. (John 1135) We can find much comfort through the help of the Bible. In time the grief will ease & you will be able to carry on, from one day to the next. I hope that these words will help you in your time of need
I really don’t know if any of the family will ever get this at such late date now, but. I just have read of Jeanette’s passing today 7-12-13. She was one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever known. She would take her mother to visit with people for years and even go pick up her Aunt Alice Little to visit with others, I know my mother enjoyed always having them around. Donald & Teddy & Hulda, I am so sorry to hear of this. God be with each and every one of you. Sue Ford Champion, Hortense O. Ford
