We are so, so sorry for your loss. No matter how old or how sick our relatives are, we are never totally prepared. We will pray for her soul and our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love and God Bless.
So many things I could say about Aunt Lura. you take what you have, and help people. that is a good legacy. when we moved, a big move, from east nc to west, she was the first in line to help and take me and mom out for ice creme in an unfamiliar place and show us the ropes. a little thing you might say? no. even the least needs a friend. She was a friend and more to many. and not perfect( are you)? I mourn her in passing but, have you been a friend to a stranger today? that is her true legacy, despite the many cops, military, saints and sinners she helped along the way… and she had Alzheimer’s, the last 15 years, a terrible debilitating disease. and if you don’t think it applies to you… well i forget, course I was born in ’60. I hesitate to make light of this. She was truly good.
My deepest sympathy to you and the family at this time of sorrow. I pray for your comfort in the days ahead. God bless you and keep you in His tender care and love for all eternity.’
I have such great memories of my Grandmother Wright. I had the opportunity to live with her for a short while and she and I were able to travel together to Germany. She so loved to laugh and wanted others to laugh also. I will miss her so, but I know she is in a better place. As my dad once said, ‘I will see you on the other side’. My love and prayers go out to the family.
I recently read about the death of your dear loved one. Even though we are not acquainted please accept our sincerest condolences. Job 1:2,18,19 & Job 10:1 says: ‘ I will give vent to my concern about myself. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.’ This was after the loss of his 10 children. Job needed to vent his concerns, he needed someone to talk to. Having someone to talk to may help you and your family cope during this difficult time. Please visit http://www.jw.org for more encouraging bible based examples of endurance.
Allen and Norman, my sincere condolences on the passing of your mother, my aunt Lura. I remember Lura as one of the most sweet, soft-spoken, humble, loving, respectful lady and wonderful aunt. May GOD rest her soul.
Fred
Please know that the Pole Creek family and I are praying for your family.

difficult time.
