Anderson Family, Our deepest sympathy, our condolences, our prayers and our love is with you all during this difficult time. I hope you can gather some comfort in knowing that your Mother is resting peacefully with the Lord. Share your tears with God. Sometimes, the tears of grief are really a prayer, even when there are no words. Tears help wash away some of the grief. As you cry, remember Revelation 21:4, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away” (KJV). Tears will come when you least expect them, but let them flow. God knows and He is there for you, He promised never to leave your or forsake you, cast all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” God has sent another comforter and that comforter is the Holy Ghost. Be encouraged, God will take you through if you trust Him to do so.
Again, our deepest condolences,
Pauley, Shuttleworth, Jordan & Coulter Families.
