    John 14:1-3 14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

    • I send my deepest sympathies to my loving family. May God give each of you strength and understanding. She was such a beautiful, sweet lady with a smile and hug I’ll always remember. Rest Peacefully 🕊️ Gone but never forgotten. 🤍🤍

  4. CandleImageGrandma, you were the epitome of unconditional love. From the very moment I entered this world in the back seat of you car, you embraced me with open arms and showered me with affection. Your love knew no bounds, and I could always count on you to be there for me, no matter the situation even in your last days the advice you would give is nothing short of amazing because will you were in your struggle you gave me advice on mine. Through your unwavering support, you taught me the true meaning of family and the importance of compassion. During those final days we spent together, I was able to tell you to eat your food or you wouldn’t get your favorite chocolate ( hershey’s kisses). Caring for you was both a privilege and a bittersweet experience. It was heartbreaking to witness your pain, but it also brought us closer in ways I never imagined. We shared countless conversations, laughter, and tears. In those moments, I realized the depth of our connection and how much you shaped the person I am today.I am immensely grateful for the love and care you provided, not just to but our entire family. You were the pillar that held us together , and your absence is deeply felt. However, I find comfort in knowing that you are at peace now, free from pain and suffering. Thank you for being the light in my life, for loving me unconditionally, and leaving an indelible mark on my soul. Although I will miss you dearly, I am grateful for the time we shared, and I will forever hold you close within my heart. Until we meet again, rest peacefully, knowing that your love will continue to guide me on this journey called life.

    With all my love,
    Chelle
