Like a loving parent who holds and comforts a child in distress, our loving Heavenly Father is eager to comfort you and to soothe your “broken heart ” (Psalms 34:18). May He give you the needed strength to endure the days ahead.
Richard and Cheryl,
I’ve been thinking of you all and sending prayers to you at this time. I am so sorry to have missed seeing you at your mom’s service, but I didn’t know about it in time. I hope you are feeling at peace with her passing. I would love to have seen you both and reconnected. With love, Laurie
Hope to see you some time soon!
