Dear Ritchie and family, I am so very sorry to hear of your sweet mother's passing. I know first hand what a difficult journey it is to go through because no one knows us or loves us like our mothers. My heart is broken for all of you. I will be praying for GOD to give you peace, comfort, strength but most importantly understanding in the days ahead. May HE hold you tightly in HIS arms of love.

Job 14:13-15 John 6:40 He Will Call Life, like a mist, appears for just a day, Then disappears tomorrow. All that we are can quickly fade away, Replaced with tears and sorrow. If a man should die, can he live again? Hear the promise God has made: CHORUS He will call; The dead will answer. They will live at his command. For he will have a longing For the work of his own hand. So have faith, and do not wonder, For our God can make us stand. And we will live forever, As the work of his own hand. Friends of our God, though they may pass away, Will never be forsaken. All those asleep who in God's memory stay, From death he will awaken. Then we'll come to see all that life can be: Paradise eternally. CHORUS He will call; The dead will answer. They will live at his command. For he will have a longing For the work of his own hand. So have faith, and do not wonder, For our God can make us stand. And we will live forever, As the work of his own hand. With Sympathy, Lisa Gullatt
