I share with you in this loss of your loved one and my treasured friend and neighbor. May you soon remember only the happy memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
We loved being with ‘Monk’ while we lived in Venetia and playing with our 4 children whom were the same ages as ours.! We will always treasure our old memories with her family.Winder,,Thad, Nelson and Jane Hughes !
She helped raise some wonderful caring kids. That is a great legacy.
My deepest sympathies to the Goodman family. I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one in death is a devastating experience, and it can leave us crushed in spirit. However, at Isaiah 57:15, here Almighty God Jehovah says, ‘I reside in the high and holy place, but also with those crushed and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of those being crushed.’ God notices your suffering, and through his purpose he has provided a beautiful resurrection hope that you can have faith in. (John 5:28,29)
