For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35, 37- 39 I extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family. May the soul of your mother be at peace with our Heavenly Father. Stacey Truss-Moore
