I am so sorry that I will not be with you all on tomorrow. Mrs. Mildred was a delightful Mother, neighbor, friend, and bonus Mother and my childhood was so much better for having her in my life. Thank you for sharing her. I encourage you all to trust God in your pain. Commit yourself to Him. Remember, He sees your whole life from beginning to end. He knows what you need better than you or anyone else!

“He placed his right hand on me and said: ‘Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last'” (Revelation 1:17).

And always know that we truly empathize with you because we feel your pain in our hearts and know the journey you are about to take so well.

Love,

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down green pastures: he leadeth me besided the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's name sake. Yea, though I walk though the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me: thy rod and the staff they comfort me. Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup ruuneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. May God continue bless you and your family is our prayer
