It is never easy to lose a loved one. Their sudden passing leaves a gaping hole in your very soul, and grief is absolutely necessary. But the Lord can and will heal your heart and He will bring you peace that passes understanding. He promises to answer when you call upon Him. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He will stregthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. blessings to the family.

To The Green Family:

Be Strong In The Lord And The Power Of HIS Might.

Dawn, You had the gift of happiness,
The unrelenting grace
To see the radiance of life
Within the ruthless face.

Heart attacks, and pain,
A flood that left you speechless . . .
And still you smiled again.

It wasn't pure naivete
Or something just not there,
Or, even worse, an inner lie
That said you didn't care.

It was a certain blessedness
Attained by very few
That let you live within a love
Within the love in you.

I'll continue to pray that GOD gives the family strength and peace during this time.

OC Turner
