Life is just a vapor. Christ gives us valleys and He gives us mountaintops. It is all for His glory. All we can do is trust Him. Love you, Theresia. Praying for you Jeff and Noah.

To the family of Theresia Ann Welch, I offer my deepest apologies. Suffering the loss of a loved one in death brings great emotional and mental unrest. However, Philippians 4:6, 7 gives the assurance, "by prayer...the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers". May you find such peace in the comforting words promised at 1 Corinthians 15:26 in your time of grief.
