dear bubba and family, I was so sorry to hear of mrs. llucille's passing. so many wonderful memories of your family from our youth in Wabash and events at our beloved Wabash church. I know how hard it is to lose both of your parents now, no matter how old we are it is hard to believe sometimes. I pray for you and all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren, she is in a better place now and with mr. junior and ginger.
Dear Family: Please accept my belated condolence for the loss of your loved one. To live to be this age is truly a blessing from God. (Psalm 90:10) Imagine your loved one living "forever". That is what the Bible promises at Revelation 21:4 because one of the things that will be gone is death and Isaiah 25:8 says that “He (God) will swallow up death forever.” For those who have died, God promises they will be resurrected back to earth under peaceful conditions. Your beloved is included in that promise. (Acts 24:15; Psalm 37:11) We can trust God and put all of our faith in him because he does not lie.

Bubba: I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Bubba,
I am sorry for your loss but your mother enjoyed a full life and was released from the challenges that arose as she aged. It is my belief that she is relieved of all pains and is joyously celebrating with our savior. Mt prayers and thoughts go out for your family to enjoy peace and comfort.

Dear Bubba and Family,
Sorry for the loss of your Mom. It is always hard to let go of a parent, regardless of how much time we have had with them, we always want just a few minutes longer.
Blessings to the Sullivan Family and our Heartfelt sympathies.
