She is more precious than rudies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. (Amen) Proverbs 3:15 - Wipe away the tears of solitude. Though her spirit has departed to be with the LORD, your memories of yester years will continue to live forevermore. May thine words continue to be a lamp unto thy feet and a light unto thy path. As the shadows of the dark clouds pass over and while you go though this storm be assured that your brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus are praying for you and your entire family.

When you feel like the psalmist when he says, All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears...my tears have been my food day and night. Remember the Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the pain of his people..Isaiah 25:8
Blessed are all who take refuge in him. Psalm 2:12 Our prayers are with you.

Sandra and Family,
When we lose someone we love it is perhaps the most severe pain we must bear. But God has promised us strength to endure. I am praying that God will put His loving gentle arms of strength around you and your family and bring comfort in your sorrow and peaceful solace to your hearts.
God Bless.
