Condolences
Add Your OwnAlthough we may not have personally known this beautiful lady, we do have the privilege of knowing her through her wonderful son, Gary, so to know him, we have the honor of knowing her . Since Gary is such a great gift to our family, we can only imagine much of a blessing to us his belated mom would have been as well.
Gary (Karen) today as you lay your loving mother (in-law)'s empty body to rest, your extended family wants you to know that we are with you in spirit and paryer, for as you mourn, our friend, we also mourn with you and as you rejoice, our brother, we also rejoice with you. As fellow Christians, somethings we forget to see the bigger picture through the pain, suffering, sadness, frustration, and mourning, but in the greater picture, we come to realize that one's celebratory life on earth can be not compare to the welcoming home party in Heaven that she received a few days ago as she left us here to be with our Lord, as well as the joy of knowing you will be reunited with her again one day in Heaven.
Much love and hugs sent your way today,
as well as many more days to come,our friend, our brother, and extended family member; for your journey of smiles, joy, tears, and sadness will continue until you too are welcomed home to be with Jesus.
