I am truly sorry to read of the passing of your loved one Sally Ann. Losing a loved one to death is never easy. Especially one so near and dear to your heart. It is comforting to know that she is sleeping peacefully in death as recorded at 1Thessalonians 4:13. She is surely awaiting the time for verse 14 of that some chapter to be fulfilled. This time will surely be made a reality by means of God’s Kingdom in which we pray for in the Lord’s Prayer. Once more I am very sorry for your loss. Please take care.

To the family: so sorry for the passing of Sally. We had many a talk and laugh through the years. I know she’s watching over us all and watching her Phillies play.
Kisses to heaven Sally
