To Pat’s family. I am so sorry for your loss. I went to Valley Springs School and played basket ball on the same team with Pat. She was a scrappy and great ball player. We were friends and I thought the world of her!!!
With deepest sympathy .
Psalm 34:18 NIV The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Diana, we are saddened to hear about the loss of your mother. We are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. We love you!
Dear Dianna, Heath and Jamie and rest of family, We are so sorry to hear of Pat’s death. We send you our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Wish you the best and blessed New Year. Let us hear from you sometime.
Diana
I am so sorry to hear of your mothers death. If there is anything that I can do please do not hesitate to call, Love oyu
Diana, I am so sorry to hear that you have lost your Mom. Just wanted you to know that you are in my prayers. The Lord gave me strength when Mama and Daddy went home and I know he will give you the strength you need.
I am very sorry for your loss; Condolences to you and your family. I look forward to the time when ‘death is swallowed up forever.’ (1 Corinthians 15:54) When one of my family members passed away, I looked to my family for comfort, but most importantly, I received comfort from God’s Word the Bible. Jesus likened death to sleeping. This is encouraging because people can be awakened from sleep. The Bible gives us hope of a resurrection. In Revelation 21:4, God promises, ‘And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’ I look forward to that time and it helps me get by. I hope it is encouraging to you too.

Dear Diana, Robert and family: Please allow me to express my sincerest condolences in the passing of your mother. If there’s anything you need, I’m here for you. Love to all, Rosemary Shelton
