I'm so sorry to hear of Nancy’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW

John and Pat,
My heart goes out to you both during this difficult time. Grandma Nancy was such a strong lady. I admired her strength. I wish I had the right words to say.
Please know that you and the kids are in my thoughts and prayers.
