  9. I am so sorry to learn of your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you, her family. I have walked down the road you are walking now and I know your steps are heavy, but lean strongly on the Lord to give you the strength and grace you need because He has promised us He would never leave us, He carries us in His arms during the worst times of our life. Most of you probably do not know me but my mother and Aunt Minnie were sisters but you will all be in my prayers.
