To Tonatte and the entire Mitchell Family:

Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal. May it bring you comfort to know that your mother is safely resting in the arms of her creator. The angels in heaven are rejoicing to there addition. She is now free from the troubles of this world. Be not dismayed, God will be there to take care of you. She has fought the good fight, she has finished the race, she has kept the faith. Now there is in store for her the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to her on that day—and not only to her, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.~2 Timothy 4:7-8. Be Blessed!

Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Ms. Clara will always be my "other mother." She had a sweet soul and a servant's heart. Although, her passing is a great loss, if you knew her, then you know where she is taking her rest. So while it hurts, we should take comfort in the fact that all is right with the world because she is rejoicing in heaven. Tonatte, Jeanette, Michael, Allen, and the Mitchell/Hamilton and Bell families, you all have my love and condolences. Ms. Clara labored hard for the Lord and she is now reaping her reward. She stood tall as a good and faithful servant and even on her last day her faith was unwavering! Family, know that the loss of a mother is like no other but I assure you that peace will come when you least expect it; just lean on the father above.
