I know that words are inadequate at a time like this but I wanted you to know how very sorry Dennis and I are for your loss. The loss of a spouse is a tragic event and we know the pain and suffering you are experiencing.
It is times like this that our faith is put to the test. We know that we must accept her passing and give thanks for the wonderful life she lived. As sad as it will be, we will always have the memory of her to hold in our hearts.
The Bible reminds us that "Blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted." I pray that this will be especially true for you as you mourn your loss.
We pray that God will give you the strength to see you through this sad and difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all.
Sarah, Nandine, and Michelle,may these words comfort you on the loss of your mother. I will always remember her sweet smile and beautiful nature. May God keep you in his embrace at this difficult time.
We love you all,
Dennis and Brenda Odom
