Dear Stacy and Joe,
My heart is so sad with your great loss. Joyce and I went all through school together and graduated together. We never dreamed we would be Grandmothers n Law as we called each other. She was the dearest and sweetest lady I had the privilege of knowing.
Bless you and the family.

Hello, my name is Carlein. I am a Bible teacher. I am sorry for your loss. A scripture that has given me much comfort is Revelation 21.4 which promises that one day death shall be no more. I hope this truth brings you comfort also.

My deepest condolences to the family. Though the pain you are feeling must seem unbearable, please remember that you are not alone. Psalms 46:1 says: "God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress." Pray to him for strength, weep to him when there are no words, he understands your pain and he cares for you very much. (1 Peter 5:7) He will help you get through this difficult time. (Isaiah 41:10)
