Please know we are thinking about you. Martha & Lloyd Dear Family: I'm so sorry to hear about your recent loss of Lorraine. Words can't erase the sorrow you are feeling at this time so I'd like to share a a few scriptures from the Bible that help to encourage and comfort me when I lose loved ones. John 5:28-29 promises a resurrection, Ps 37:29 alond with many others in that chapter tell us that we ecan live forever on earth and Rev 21:3-4 promises there will be no more pain, sickness or death. These are all promises from God that we can surely look forward to in the near future. I know that God doesn't take our loved ones from us but He will reunite us again when the time is right. I hope you gain the same comfort that I do from these scriptures. I look forward to being with my loved ones again and living forever on earth, never experiencing pain or death again. Sincerely, Dee Bishop I will miss seeing her this summer she was always the one to defend all the defenseless animals. She also was a lot of fun to be around. Carole Beaudin
