Peace and Love unto you Sandra, my dear Sister and Friend. To you and to your family I extend my heartfelt condolences. I must say that I would be remiss if I did not mention to you the beautiful way, the loving and faithful way, that you cared for your Mother, spending time with her through the years, and to the very end when she needed you most of all. My prayer in the name of the Lord Jesus, (Who is now seated at the right hand of God, according to Mark 16:19), is that our Heavenly Father will bless you with the great Strength and Peace during your time of sorrow that only He can give. May He continue to comfort and bless your heart now, and in the days, weeks, months, and years to come. Remember Lady Sandy, that you are never alone! The words that the Lord spoke to His disciples, I believe He speaks also to you my Sister in such a time as this. He said, "...and Behold! I am with you always, even unto the end of the age." - Matthew 28:20 - Love to you, Melanie Boyd Jones πππ½ββοΈπ
