Lamentations 3:22-2
22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Prayers for comfort and peace for the family left behind and rejoicing for Mary that she is with Jesus and free of pain.
I first met Mary about 2 or 3 years ago when I attended Sisters in Christ Bible Study at her home before the pandemic. I so enjoyed meeting her and she always had a sweet smile and hugs for everyone. She will be missed by her Sisters but we know she is with Jesus and is whole again. Praise God.
