Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Aunt Donnie is now with Uncle Ozzie and mom, enjoying watching over us. She was so special to me and will always have a place in my heart. I am so glad that I was able to see her at the first of the month. And she knew who I was... I got my hugs and kisses from her like always and she told me that she loved me. If there is anything at all that you need or just want someone to talk to, I am just a call away. Love you guys.

Please accept my condolences on your loss. I found comfort in the hope the Bible offers for our loved ones at Psalms 37:29 which says, "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." We are assured by God in His Word the Bible, that after the earth is oleansed of current troubled conditions, it will be restored to a paradise like the Garden of Eden as He originally purposed. Then our loved ones can return to life on earth (by resurrection) in good health.(Isaiah 33:24) Then there will be no more sorrow or pain as we are promised at Revelation 21:4. It reads, "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." I hope these words will bring you a measure of solace in your time of loss.
