Your loved one lived a long life.She was granted with what the Bible calls “special mightiness”.(Psalms 90:10) GOD “RESURRECTED” humans in the past and HE will do so again in the future for your loved one Violet. (John 11:39-44)May you look towards that hope.

our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother.

To all the Bloom relatives, especially Barbara, I offer my deepest sympathy to you during this sad time. We all remember how our parents were when we were children and we loved them with all our heart. It is times like these where we have to say goodbye and that is never an easy thing to do because it is so final. I do believe that your mother was probably the last of the generation that was married into the Bloom family of which my grandfather, William “Buss” Bloom was a member. Good Bless you for taking such good care of your mother Barbara! It is a blessed task that you took responsibility for and you will always be glad that you did this. Hugs and kisses to you!
Bill Bloom
