Our thoughts and prayers are with you all — May the light of God’s love show you the way through this difficult time. “For You are my lamp O Lord; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness”. II Samuel 22:29 (Son & daughter-in-law to Dennis Sheehan)
Dear Patrice, I was greatly saddened to hear you had lost your mom. I can only imagine how heartbroken you are. Someone once said that a person is never really gone as long as someone remembers her. I’m sure your mom will be around a very long time in all your happy memories of her. My deepest sympathies. Linda Schwartz, Your PHC Sister
Dear Elaine and Coss family,
Dear Elaine and Coss family, I am very sorry to learn of your mother’s passing. She was a lovely lady and I know she will be missed alot.Take care and know that she is in God’s hands and enjoying the dance with your Dad.
To Elizabeth’s family, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. It’s not easy to find the right words, but we hope you will be comforted by the promise Jesus made at John 11:25, “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” May God’s peace strengthen you at this time.
