May this verse at, Revelation 21:3, 4 bring consolation to your family: “I heard a loud voice from the throne say: ‘Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’†Please take comfort in this God given promise.
Estelle. Joe, Margaret Ann, Larry, so sorry to hear of your sister and mother’s death. Our years in Upward Acres were some of the best. Marge was a great neighbor and friend. You are in our prayers. Condolences to all your family.
Joe, Margaret Ann and Larry,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am going to miss your mother so much. Our telephone calls each month kept getting longer and longer but we had so many laughs. It was always so great talking to her. I am going to miss her more than I can say but I know your father will be so happy to see her again.
