So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the
words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 "(3) With that I heard
a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God
is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they
will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
(4 ) 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.”

Dear Cousins,
We are sending our love & prayers for all of you during this difficult time. Aunt Hildred & Uncle HD always treated us graciously when we visited ~ I ESP remember a time when I was about age 7 (a long time ago)! My family, mom & dad & 4 kids under age 7, arrived on their doorsteps at 4 am after a long road trip. Aunt Hildred cooked us a great big breakfast ~ even homemade biscuits! It was so good! Great memories back in the day! Love, Cousin Gail
