So very sorry for the loss of your sister please know your in my prayers and may she test in peace
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.
In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen.
Dear Mrs. Gritzbach, Denise, and Cheryl,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful memories of our families growing up together on View Street. When I think of Barbara, I remember her as a little girl with those pretty blonde curls and a sweet mischievous smile!
I hope you find comfort knowing that Barbara is at peace with her Dad now in heaven. Please know that I am here for you and I love you all very much. ❤️
With sympathy, love, and friendship,
