I am so sorry to read about the loss of Anne and I wanted to extend my condolences to your family. We are encouraged by the fact that God knows and feels our pain. We are encouraged to "throw our burdens on him and he will sustain us" (Psalm 55:22). Although there are tears of grief today, God promises a joyful tomorrow without death, mourning, pain, tears or sorrow (Revelation 21:4). He also promises a resurrection to life for our loved ones who have died (John 5:28,29).

Condolences to Jim and Colleen who I knew from St. Clement's school back in the '50s. So sad to hear of your mother's passing but 104 is an incredible age and a long life. Remember she will always remain in your hearts and be but a moment away when a memory arises.
