"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace." ββEcclesiastesβ¬ β3β¬:β1β¬-β8β¬ β Soror Coleman ππ

Sending to the family these wonderful words:
by Poet Maya Angelou
When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses, and even elephants lumber after safety. When great trees fall in forests, small things recoil into silence, their senses eroded beyond fear. When great souls die, the air around us becomes light, rare, sterile. We breathe, briefly. Our eyes, briefly, see with a hurtful clarity. Our memory, suddenly sharpened, examines, gnaws on kind words unsaid, promised walks never taken. Great souls die and our reality, bound to them, takes leave of us. Our souls, dependent upon their nurture, now shrink, wizened. Our minds, formed and informed by their radiance, fall away. We are not so much maddened as reduced to the unutterable ignorance of dark, cold caves. And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed. Maya Angelou..
God is the most magnificent comforter and pray that God comforts your hearts in this time. Sending my most sincerest condolences to the family-Soror Clarissa Sampson

I am so sorry for your loss. There are no perfect words to take away the pain of losing someone you love, but I hope you find comfort in knowing that you are not alone. May the love and memories you shared with your loved one bring you strength during the difficult days ahead. Give yourself permission to grieve, to cry, and to take things one day at a time. Your loved one's presence may no longer be beside you, but the love they gave, the memories you created, and the impact they made will remain in your heart forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. May Jehovah give you the strength, peace, and comfort you need today and in the days ahead. Please know that you are surrounded by love and that you do not have to walk through this alone. ~Soror Gibson ππ
