Helen, Jennifer, family members. I am so sorry for your loss. However it is a victory for Mrs. Bishop. She is in that wonderful place that we all should be. I am sure that she is looking down on her family and saying,’please don’t greive for me, be happy, we will all be together again someday.’ The pain is fresh, but God’s great healing hand will support you and give you strength and comfort in this so very sad time for you.
My heart and sympathies are with you.
