Sending deepest sympathy and prayers for strength and comfort in the days ahead. I know she must have been a very special lady. Thinking of you and your family, Greg, and praying for hearts that will ultimately be filled with peace and beautiful memories.
My heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends. Its wery difficult loosing a loved one. I know. But I found comfort in 1 Cor.15:58. God takes notice of who we are and what we have done for his names sake.
