Keith and I are saddened to hear of LaDonna's passing. She was a wonderful lady and always had a smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your dear, loved one. Death is hard to deal with. Even Jesus gave way to tears when Lazarus died (John 11:35). But our Heavenly Father views death as an enemy and promises to put an end to it (1 Cor 15:26). We can look forward to being reunited with our loved ones again.

I am so sorry for your loss. She raised some nice boys and that sure says a lot about her, doesn't it? Some of my favorite words of hope in times of such grief come from the song I Firmly Promise you.
I FIRMLY PROMISE YOU THAT I'LL MEET YOU BY THE RIVER
ON THE BANKS OF THAT EVERGREEN SHORE.
WHERE OUR HEARTS WILL NEVER BREAK
AND OUR LIPS WILL NEVER QUIVER
FOR THE LOVED ONES WHO'VE GONE ON BEFORE
WE'LL LIVE WHERE FLOWERS BLOOM
BY THE BRIGHT AND SHINING RIVER
AND OUR SPIRIT WILL SORROW NO MORE.
MAY GOD'S PROTECTING GRACE AND LOVE BE GATHER ON HEAVEN'S FAIR SHORE
WILL YOU MEET ME THERE TOO.
May God bless you with His comfort.
