I am sorry to learn about your family's sorrow. The death of a loved one is difficult. Let me share scripture that may help. Please, read John 6:40, 44 and Ps. 36:9.

I'll always remember Linda's smile and sweet laugh. She was always so kind to all. Her and Rick had such a special love for each other. I have lots of good memories of our times together. One of the special ones was when I visited her in the hospital once, Rick had a guitar and he started singing to her. I started to leave to let them have the moment, but she wouldn't hear of it. I watched her face as he sang and it just glowed, there was so much love in the room between them, I felt so honored to be there sharing with them. Linda always made you feel like you were so special. She saw the good in everyone. If only more people could be like her the world would be so much better for it. I know I'm blessed to have known her, and I treasure the times we spent together. Bless you Linda, and thanks for your friendship. Your family, both by blood and friendship, will always treasure the time we were allowed to spend with you. Till we meet again, "Connie Mac"
