I’m saddened to hear the news of your passing. Your son Matt has been a good friend of mine for nearly two decades, and I hate that we never had the chance to meet. The child you raised has been a great joy to know, and from the bottom of my heart, you did a wonderful job as a mother! Thank you. I pray for Carol’s husband, brother, her son Matt, and all that knew and loved her. May God hold each one of you through your grief, and may you find solace in him during this difficult time. With love and sincerity, Sandra

Hello.. my name is Chas and although I don’t know you personally I wanted to express my condolences for your loss. I too have experienced the loss of loved ones and it is very difficult. Something that has always helped and encouraged me is a scripture from the Bible. At acts 24:15 it speaks of a time where there will be a resurrection of those we have lost. What a beautiful thought to look forward to.. seeing those loved ones again. I hope this brings you comfort in the difficult time. Thoughts and prayers for you and your families.
