Mike and Carlene,
I’m deeply sorry for you loss. Fannie was always nice to me. I always watched her crossing the street to check the mail. I was afraid she was going to get hit. But she knew what she was doing and proved me wrong everyday. Just know she is at rest now. We love you and miss you.
We wish to extend our condolences and sincere sympathy to each of you as you mourn the passing of such a fine lady. I know she will be missed by each of you as well as others. You have been blessed to have Fannie with you all these years and I know these past few months have been hard for you each of you. I pray God will wrap you in His compassionate, loving arms and shower you in His grace and mercy in the days ahead. Mike, you and Carlene have honored Fannie in the care you have provided for her over the years, you have been a good and faithful son and may the Lord bless you for it.
Trust in Him,
He is the healer of the brokenhearted. He is the one who bandages our wounds. Psalms 147:3
