Savannah-Houston- Vera Bale Wood, age 89, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 21, 2013 in Houston, Texas where she had been living for the last three years.

The Bible says there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous. How that promise by God reassure us that we can see our dead loved ones again. May you have peace and inner strength then.
