I just found out tonight that your Mom had passed. I am so very sorry. Growing up in Carolina Heights had so many rich blessings. One of the greatest stops along my way was when I would deliver the Leaksville News to their house. She was always so much fun to spend time with. Stevie and I would always talk and have a laugh about how lucky he was to have such a great Mom. I miss those days and when I turn the corner heading to see my Mom and Dad I always remember the special times we shared in that home. I will be praying for you all. Love you all.

The passing of your loved one Pauline is one of the most devastating experiences your family can face, and at times, the loss may seem unbearable. However, finding ways to express my deepest sympathies to your family is most difficult. Furthermore, your faith in the Bible based resurrection hope for Pauline, Jesus spoke about at John 11:25. These words of Jesus are comforting to your family knowing that Pauline have a hope in a resurrection. Moreover, the help that God supplies does make a difference, because God can help you to cope with the death of someone you love. The Bible makes this comforting promise: ‚Äö?Ñ??Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves (Psalms 34:18). True, divine help does not eliminate the pain, but it can make it easier to bear. That does not mean that you will no longer cry or will forget your loved one. So, draw close to Jehovah, the God of all comfort during this time of sorrow and sadness.

Dear Cathy and family, so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. I remember the great times I had at your house when we attended Lakeside Elementary and your mom was always so nice and kind to me. I know her health hasn't been that great in the past few years, but thankful for her that she's not suffering. But I know how difficult it is to lose your mom. Take care, we will be praying for all of you and keeping you in our thoughts.
