Fred and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. She was such a wonderful lady. Your sadness must be very heavy upon you and the Family. I pray God pulls back the curtain between Earth and Heaven to give you a glimpse of the glory, peace, and love she is now experiencing in the presence of Jesus. May your heart be filled with the precious memories and the sweet confidence of a well-run race. Her freedom and peace are now complete. I pray you all will have a great sense of this truth. Lord give them the peace that passes understanding as they grieve and heal from this loss.
