Although I did not personally know Ms. Batchelor, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest sympathy to your family. No doubt the loss of such a dear loved one will be felt by many. Our God, the Creator, yearns to bring back those who have died Job 14:13-15. May this and the many other promises in God's word the Bible continue to comfort your family.
