Krishonna,
Please accept my sincere sympathy in the passing of your great-grandmother. When someone we love passes away, we sometimes feel a void or emptiness in our heart. Remember, God is the answer! I'm praying for you and your family.
JJ, Dallas and Family,
Please know that you are remembered with love during your time of bereavement. I'm glad that I know you know our Creator, and that we are all on a journey. For some the journey is shorter and for some it's longer; we just thank God for the journey. I can imagine how difficult the passing of your mother is for you, but as you know, God is in control. It was great seeing you at Prayer Meeting and Bible Study on Thursday, and at church on Sunday. You are an example for many to emulate. Still, it's hard. Take comfort in knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Love you all.

To the family of Mother Jones, words will never be enough to fill the void left by her going on but the Joy that she spreaded while she was here her unique way of putting things and the smiles she could bring to your face and the fierceness in which she loved her family goes a long way! I will encourage you all to celebrate her 89 years she spent here and you find it will give your more reason to smile and laugh than it will to cry, she was very special lady to me and I share your grief. Please try to stay encouraged and remember that GOD is still GOD and he won't leave you now. To D J and J J and the rest of the family I am now and will always only be a notification away love you. Sincerely Helen Thomas
