To the Family of Aunt Vaulty……..
We were so very sorry to hear about the passing of Vaulty….and we join you in remembering the ‘special memories’ of ‘special times’ we have all had with her. She was a very strong woman throughout her life time, a heritage passed along from her parents….which included a love for family & friends, appreciation for nature, and a reverence for God and his Holy book, the Bible. May you find comfort today, tomorrow, and the days and weeks ahead knowing that so many others are remembering you in their thoughts and prayers. It is our sincere hope that you each…..see God’s personal presence in the faces of friends and loved ones…..that you hear His soft whisper of comfort in their voices…..and that you feel the strength of His touch in their hands. He is ALWAYS there for you….no matter the trial, the heartbreak, the circumstance….when you need HIM most.
Our deepest sympathies……..
Lashley, my prayers and thoughts are with you and your beautiful family during this time of sorrow. You have my deepest condolences. A mother’s love is so special. So rejoice in the Lord until you meet her again.
