As our loved one finish the race of life. We are saddened by our loss. God has prepared a perfect place for us. (Ps. 3729) We can look forward to a time when we will be able to see our loved ones once again. (John 316) What a wonderful time that will be.
What at wonderful, wonderful warm feeling of love I felt today AS I VIEWED the family video. What a wonderful lady!!! Always a lady and so Christ like! Oh how she gave her love to so many in her life time. All of us were blessed to know and be part of her life! I will never forget all the times we shared. Billy and I had many good hours with Jim and Ms.Louise! My children loved them and they loved all of us!! God bless each of you and love the Lord more each day because she is with our Lord and We want to be there too. I love my Lord more every day as He takes one of His home! Love you, Peggy Boswell

We are moved though a silence, A quite sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word. We may not understand, why our loved one left so soon. Why they left before we were ready to say goodbye. Little by little, we will began to remember not just that they died, but that they lived. That your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. During our grief, we need to lean on God, for comfort. One of the most comfort to me is Ps. 3418 Jehovah is near to those who are broken hearted, & those crushed in spirit, he saves.
