Words can not express how sorry I am about your loss. Jehovah comfort us in many ways through this word. REVELATION 21:3,4 reminds us how death will be no longer, and their will be the hope of the resurrection. Pslms 37:9-11;29 .
I truly believe the loss of such an amazing person impacts the world.... or at least it has mine. I had the privilege of taking of Mrs. Ashford. She was the most gracious person I think I have ever met. Despite everything she was going through, she never lost her smile! The gratitude she expressed in spite of the circumstances, left an impression on me that will last my lifetime. I use to think to myself, we could all take a page from this women's book!She was the kind of person one could only hope to be like. I am praying that the kind of peace, that can only come from GOD rests upon her family! Dana Edwards
