Dana, Diago, Broderick, Sarah, Ethan and family ~ My heart goes out to each of you in the Homegoing of your dear Mother and Mimi. With Mama’s passing less than 2 weeks before Barbara’s, I can fully relate to what you are going thru right now. Both our Moms suffered long and hard, but they are healed now and are in the presence of the Lord. Please know that you are all in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers as you walk thru this journey. What a comfort to know that one day soon, we will be reunited with our loved ones who are waiting for us to come Home – never to be separated again and with the Lord for all eternity. I am so sorry for your loss, but so thankful that Barbara is not suffering now and I’m so thankful I got to meet her during wedding week last year and what a precious lady she was. With my Love, Prayers and Deepest Sympathy ~ Alton
Alicia,
Keeping you and your family in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.
May the peace of God surround each one of you during this time of grief. So sorry for your loss.
So very sorry for your loss, Mimi was such a special lady a candle in the wind that’s flame blew out way too soon. She touched so many in so many different ways. Never forgotten and always in our hearts.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
I’m keeping all of the family in prayer. I’m sorry for your loss. I certainly look forward to the day that I see Barbara again. She maintained a positive attitude to the end. I am glad I got to know her on this side of Glory. She can truly rest now that she’s in the presence of The Lord. We will miss her at The Heights Baptist Church.
Alicia an Dana,
I’m so sorry for your loss. She was my aunt an I loved her very much an I hope I will see her again in the presence of our lord Jesus Christ. But now we know she’s no longer in pain but happy in heaven with Grandma an Jesus.
