Jerry and Family: We have been neighbors for several years and you and Gail were the best anyone could ask for. I am praying for all of you during this most difficult time in your lives that God will fill your hearts with His Grace, Mercy, Peace, Comfort, and Love.
2 Timothy 4:6 reads:”…and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day…” Yes, Gail put up a good fight for a long time, and now has received her crown of righteousness she so well deserved.
John 14:1-4 reads: “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place I am going.”
And also, Psalm 23: “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want….”
May the love of God surround you,
May His peace be all around you.
Love to all
Your Neighbor 🙂
May she rest in peace
