Please accept my sincere condolences. Gods promise to Abraham was that through his seed people of all nations will be blessed. (Gen. 22:18). One of these blessings is the hope of a resurrection as demonstrated by Abraham and Isaac. I am very sorry for your loss but at the same time, I know that one day your loved one will be among the happy throngs who benefit from this promised blessing. Again, please accept my sincere condolences.
Linda, you know she was like a second mother to me and so loving. I, too, will have a difficult time knowing she’s not with us but at the same time, the stress of her condition is no longer. I wish you peace and thank you for sharing your mom with me. Love always, Beth
Dear Linda, I was very sorry to hear about your mom. I remember her as vivacious , glamorous, and full of life. And she managed to get my mother off her but and have some excitement.

Dear Linda and Family–No matter how old they are or how old we are or how inevitable we know it is, it still hurts to lose your mom. She sounds lovely and full of life, someone who touched many lives over many years. Her lovely being lives on through you and her grandchildren and now their little ones, too. With our sincere sympathy and love, Bob and Judy
