Harold and family,
We’re sorry your wife/mom has left us, but happy she is out of the pain of this body and present with our Lord and Savior. I’m looking forward to my reunion with my mom which gives us something in common. She is enjoying the presence of our Lord which must be a marvelous experience. (2 Cor 5:8)
What a day that will be when our Jesus we shall. Just to look upon His face, the one who Saved is by His Grace. What a day, glorious day that will be!
