We are praying for your family in this time of loss! May the Lord continue to comfort your heart. - Melvin & Brenda Morris (from POJ)
Dearest Family, my thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Gaye was my first cousin, her Mom and my Dad being siblings. I was blessed to visit her back in March and had a wonderful time. We reminisced of past times about our grandparents, aunts and uncles and family---and the Lord. She was so looking forward to His return. So thankful we had that time. Now she is absent from the body, but present with the Lord. May God give you comfort and strength in knowing she is home at last and safe in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Love you all, Debbe McWilliams Donner.
I wish your time with your family is as good as it possibly could be at a time like this.
