I am praying for the family and their loss. I knew Pat in school and she was always a very kind and caring individual. She will be missed by all that knew her. I believe that Pat had completed her works here for God and he called her home. Merry Christmas in Heaven Pat!!

I was acquainted with Tricia by talking to her many times before I retired while working at Rockingham County Schools' Central Office Finance Dept. I remember that she had many health issues while she was working, but she persisted in doing her job well despite these issues. She was a special person and I know you will miss her. Prayers are for your family upon this loss.

Dear Cher and family,
I was saddened to hear of your mom's passing. It's hard to let them go, but know that Heaven has gained another angel. May God embrace you and your family with comfort, love, and peace as no one else can do. Cherish all of those wonderful memories you and she have shared and someday, she'll be awaiting your reunion. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

I am so sorry for your loss. I wanted to share a few scriptures that helped me when I lost my grandmother. The Bible tells us that a time will come when Jesus will call all those in the memorial tombs to a resurrection of life. The beauty of this promise is that our loved ones will wake up in a world where there will be no pain or suffering. Revelations 21:4 describes that new world. This time is close at hand when Patricia will have the opportunity to live forever in a paradise earth. Please meditate on Psalms 34:18, yes he is close to the broken hearted and promises comfort. Hold on to His hand during this difficult time and let Him soothe you. I hope these words brought you some comfort during this difficult time. If you want to talk about these promises, email me or visit jw.org. I hope these words helped your family.
