Angeline and Family,
Our sincere sympathy in the death of your mother. Prayers that family and friends will be blessed and comforted with blessings and comfort from the Lord
To the family:
I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. I just read about it in the Exchange yesterday.
I used to go to church with Mr. & Mrs. Swing. They were such a sweet couple. I know you are gonna miss her so much (as I am sure you still miss Robert), but it gets easier as time goes on, even though there will always be a part of your heart missing because of the love you have for them.
May God put His loving arms around you during this difficult time.
God Bless you!!!
Sincerely, Katie
So sorry for your loss. May you feel the loving presence of God and those who hold you in their thoughts and prayers during this stressful period. God Bless
