So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4"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. 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.
Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.†Wishing your family the much needed peace and comfort.
Shana and Tahnya,
I remember your mom from our school days. I know the past few years have been challenging. Lifting prayers and sending you love. Your mom is at peace. May you all have peace now.
Mrs. Hayes was a kind educator and I remember her as the librarian when I was a student at CJHS. My condolences to her family and pray you are able to remember the happy times you shared.
There’s a special place in all of our hearts for our mothers, just like there’s a special place in every mother’s heart for her children. You must continue to carry her memory in that special place in your heart. Tahnya, I am sincerely sorry your loss, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Tahnya, I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. Hopefully you will have peace knowing that your loving care for her, especially over the past several years comforted her. She is resting in peace now. I will keep you and your sister in my prayers.
