My deepest sympathy to the Kelso family. My heart goes out to you. When going through the loss of my father, a scripture that brought me comfort is Isa. 41:10. There God implores us to not be anxious because he is with us and assures us “I will really hold on to you with my right hand.” May the God of all comfort be with you at this difficult time. (2 Cor.1:3,4)
Thank you for your kind words and wonderful reminder of God’s love and comfort for us. Sarah
I am very sad to hear of Jeannine’s home going but rest in the assurance that she is in a better place enjoying the company of those she loved and who went before her. God’s richest blessings to you all in this time of sorrow.
Thank you Cathy for your kind words. I am so thankful for your family and your friendship. Sarah
My condolences to Jeannine’s family. I have fond memories of her both at TSCW (now TWU) and in LaMarque, where we would run into each other occasionally. I always thought of her as a friend. May she rest in peace.
