In Loving Memory
So many memories. Such a long and fulfilling life. May those precious memories of Ms. Nellie fill your hearts with peace and comfort. And although there are no words that can take away your pain, please remember that you are not alone. Psalm 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress." Pray to Him for strength. He will really help you (Isaiah 41:10) because He cares for you (1Peter 5:7). John 11:11, 21-25; Revelation 21:3,4. My heartfelt condolences.
