  17. May your heart find peace and comfort in the knowledge that you are never alone. May God’s presence ease your trembling spirit and give you rest. He knows how you feel. He is ever aware of your circumstances and ready to be your strength, your grace, and your peace. He is there to cast darkened shadows, to send encouragement through the love of friends and family, and to replace your weariness with new hope. When what you are feeling is simply too deep for words and nothing anyone does or says can provide you with the relief you need, God understands. He loves you. Cast all your cares on Him.

    We knew the McFee families all our lives. You all are good people, were good neighbors to us. You always generated a lot of love and care to others and willing to be there in time of need. Celia’s smiling face and generosity will be missed by family as well as many others. God has a jewel in heaven now and she is at peace.
    May God bless each of you in a very special way and give you comfort.
