To the family and friends of Thelma Rita Leblanc. Even though we don’t know each other personally, I wanted to let you know that I am deeply sorry for your lost. It is a tragedy to lose a loved one in death. Im sure that Thelma will be deeply missed. However, I would like to share something with you that might offer some comfort. The Bible mentions that not only will God help you through this situation, but it also helps us to appreciate that we will have the opportunity to see our lost loved ones again.
Psalms 34:18 - Jehovah [God] is near to those that are broken at heart; And those who are crushed in spirit he saves.
John 5:28,29 - Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life…
I hope these scriptures can provide a sense of comfort for you and your family. All of you in my prayers…

You may have gone home to your maker but you won't be forgotten by those still here. WE will always love you and will miss you dearly. On a personal note, I couldn't have asked for a loving and kind mother-in-law, she was always there for me and always made me feel like one of her own. I will treasure all those memories.
