My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May God Bless and keep you. PJ mawedwards8@hotmail.com I would like to convey my condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Emily. I truly understand the pain of losing one so dear to you, especially a parent. I found much comfort in the passage found in John 11. Here Jesus resurrects Lazarus here on earth, before the very eyes of those he loved. We too, have that same hope (John 5:28). We can only imagine the tears of joy when we too, are reunited with our loved ones. I'm sure Ms. Emily will be missed by those who knew and loved her. Remember the experiences you shared, pass them on to others and her memory will live on, not only in you, but those of whom you shared them with. May you find comfort from those who surround you at this very difficult time. My sincerest sympathy to all of you.
