    I am deeply sorry for your loss of Ms. Grace. I'd like to share a promise of hope from the Bible found at Acts 24:15 where it says "There is going to be a resurrection.". I hope this little thought gives you (all) at least a little comfort. You can find out more by visiting www.jw.org. Stay Safe!!

    Sally, Dallas, and family, May God comfort and strengthen you as you remember sweet times together with your mother. She was so filled with the joy of Jesus--such a bright light for Him despite the challenges of her life that her face glowed when she spoke of Him, which was often.
