We are sad to lose her, but we rejoice because we know she is now in Heaven with The Lord, and with her friends and loved ones who have passed before. We are thankful, and we praise God, for sending his Son, Jesus, to provide the way of salvation so everyone can have an eternal home in Heaven. We rejoice that “Mom” no longer has sickness and pain, and that she is now restored to God’s perfection. “Mom” is surely happy this day, and she will be forever more. Add a comment |
