Joan, I know that you are there in Heaven interceding for others as you did for the many within our prayer group. May the new wine of Heaven be forever filling your cup as well as overflow and change the sorrow that your family is experiencing at this time. In Jesus' Name, I pray Amen. Father, Son and Holy Spirit and special prayer to our Blessed Mother, pray for us. Amen.

May the family find comfort in fond memories, and in knowing that God is "near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." (Psalm 34:18) Our loving Creator, Jehovah God, has promised to soon "swallow up death forever...and wipe the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25:8) With deepest sympathy.
