To Richard and the Kirkland family, I offer my condolences in the death of your brother and loved one. I will keep you and your family in prayer. Just know that if you trust in God He will grant you his peace. I pray that you will find refuge in him. Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, a vey present help in trouble."

May the love of God keep and comfort you during this difficult time. With Deepest Sympathy

Jo, We pray that you can find some comfort in this poem. And, may God grant you a peace that only He can give.

Poem of Life
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay. . .
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

May God Bless and Keep you and your family.
Your Sisters, Sandi, Rose,& Blondell

To the kirkland Family;
Stay strong and continue to be encouraged, for weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.
