I am sorry for your loss please accept my deepest sympathy. I hope you will find your strength and comfort in Jesus promises of the earthly resurrection(:Acts 24:15) and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will have to mourn the death of a loved one.-Revelation 21:3,4; Luke 23:43. May GOD(Psalms 83:18) grant you peace and comfort now during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.
Dear Gracie,
I'm quite sure that you are dancing around somewhere. Now it is just a little harder to see your smile.
I'll just look more carefully into the palmetto grove from now on.
Much Love, Kelly
Warfield family,
My dear cousin lost her battle and we are heartbroken. Although we have been separated by distance the childhood memories we shared will always remain in our hearts. She was always so sweet. Thinking of you Uncle Bob, Aunt Rosemary, Leann, Bev and Robert.
