We are so very sorry for your loss. We pray that “the peace of
God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts
and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus” as you
deal with the intense grief that comes with losing your loved
one. (Phillipians 4:6, 7)
The Bible assures us that God “is near to those that are
broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.”
(Psalm 34:18) We look forward with you to the time when we
will be able to welcome our loved ones back! (John 5:28, 29)
My deepest sympathies and prayers to Seena's family. I will
miss her smile and cute giggle/laugh. My memories go back
many years when she came into my life at a difficult time...
Those memories include all the times my sister , another good
friend, and I would sit at the kitchen table and play cards,
especially Yatchze with her and Marge. She was a good
friend. She will be missed, but always remembered due to all
the great memories I have experienced with her.
