  • Janice, Rich and family,
    There are few words for the feeing when your parent has ascended ahead. She’s not gone from you – she’s with God now. There is no greater comfort than knowing she lived her life in service to the Lord ensuring eternity with him and now her circle is complete. I am praying for you to feel joy not sadness in your heart. With God’s sacrifice she’ll await the day to see again. Your mom is in your hearts and your memories. Treasure them and also in knowing that Heaven has gained an angel – now they too know why you loved her so.
