Your family has my deepest sympathy. I’m so very sorry to learn of the loss of Ms. Opha. I was thinking of something to say to ease the pain that your family is suffering. So I compiled this list of Scriptures that is sure to bring you comfort in this difficult time: Psalms 55:22; Proverbs 3:5, 6; Isaiah 41:10; 2 Corinthians 1: 3-7; James 4:8; and Revelation 21:4. Be strong. Cherish the memories. May the peace of God be with your family always. And please remember to call upon His name found at Psalms 83:18.

My heart breaks for all of you.
A few years ago I ran across this, it's a comfort to know that we have so many loved ones waiting for us just across the sea.
The Little Ship ♥¸¸.•*¨*•.. I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted her white sails with a golden light, and as she disappeared from sight a voice at my side whispered, "She is gone". But the sea was a narrow one. On the farther shore a little band of friends had gathered to watch and wait in happy expectation. Suddenly they caught sight of the tiny sail and at the very moment when my companion had whispered, "She is gone" a glad shout went up in joyous welcome, "Here she comes!" .•*¨*•.¸¸♥
What rejoicing there is in Heaven from the family waiting there!
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
