My dearest friend Kathy, My deepest condolences to you at the death of your mother. The grief felt over the passing of a parent is like none other and I know that this touches you at a very deep level. John 14 '...my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.

Ruth, Your kindness to me in the 1960s will never be forgotten. You were blessed in your life with many things but the most precious was your daughter. No words can ever express how much she has meant to me. Thank you for Kathy. I promise to be sure she is safe. Rest in God's love............. Jim

My Dear Friend Kathy, We've been friends for almost 51 years. That means I knew your mother almost as long. I am so very, very sorry to hear about her death and I can only imagine the profound sense of loss you must feel. I am praying for you and hoping you find comfort and peace in this difficult time. I know you are a very strong and loving person and you will find your own way through this grief to the place of acceptance and serenity. Love, Debbie

Dear Kathy, My dear friend... I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your beautiful mother. She has made the ultimate journey to heaven & is now walking on streets of gold. The bond that God creates between a mother & a daughter can never be broken despite earthly differences. Heavenly Father, please release the fullness of your spirit & your Shekinah Glory over Kathy during this difficult time. Protect, guide, & fill her with your peace in Jesus' name. Amen. Love, Sharon
