Obituary For Mary Lindsey

Life Reflection

Let not your heart be trouble, ye believe in God, believe also in Me.

In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so,

I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and

receive you into myself that where I am there you may be also.

~St. John 14: 1-3~
