I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. In times like these it's hard to find true comfort but God assures us he will be there for us during these times, please notice what the scriptures say at 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4 ''Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.'' Jehovah God is willing to comfort us. What a comforting thought!

I am a volunteer at the University Park Care Center and I set up the "Horse Racing" game every Saturday morning. Until the last few months, Marian was an avid player. Everyone enjoyed her company and we will miss her very much. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
