Loving prayers go to you, Susan, and your whole family. Trusting in our caring God, take refuge in the hope of His embrace as your Mother/grandmother met Him face to face. Peace be with you during these difficult days
You are held close to my heart.

Susan, John, Inger and Family... I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a special woman who cared very deeply for her children and their friends as well. I spent many a times at the house back in the day and she was always cordial and caring. Most of all I know that she loved her Lord and is now resting in His arms. Keep the faith family because this goodbye is not forever. Some day in the future there will be a reuniting and celebration of glory. God Bless you all and may you remember your mom for all the things that she made possible while she was here.
