To my dear friend Carol's family,
I am thankful for all the memories we shared for over 35 years! I rejoice that you are now free from the bondage of a physical body! I also know that you are now more alive than ever! I realize and believe that your family trusts God for the comfort and peace that can only come from Him!
My heart continues in its love and hope that we will meet again in a permanent home and dwelling that our loving Father has prepared for those who have received salvation through His Son, Forever, Lila
