Sincerest sympathies on the recent loss of your dear loved one. May the fond memories your family has sustain you during this difficult time. Our Creator has given us a future promise of never having to grieve the loss of a loved one in the near future. That promise is found at Isaiah 25:8a; “He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” What a glorious day this will be! May this promise give you comfort and peace now.
Your mother was such a wonderful person. Always so kind and caring. We really see where you got it from. Do sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and your family. God bless.
So sorry for your loss. I worked with Chubby years ago at the phone company. She was so much fun. Chubby, her sisters Pat and Jean and my self had many fun lunch breaks. She was a good friend.
As always you friend: Sharon (Anzlovar) Blaisure
