Darrell and Gail,

May the peace of God strengthen you in your days of bereavement. God is your sustainer and because of what Jesus did at Calvary, you will see Mrs. McCant again as the scripture says, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". Your mother was a very sweet and humble woman of God. Take strength in knowing that she was a Godly example to all who knew her. Be blessed and know that we are praying for you and your family.
