Just to say that you and your family are in my prayers.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers as you go thru this difficult time.
We are so sorry for your loss.
We will miss Brenda’s smiling face.
We enjoyed sitting with Frank and Brenda to watch our girls play softball.
I wonder if God set up a soccer field for her in Heaven?
God saw you getting tired
A cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around you
And whispered, “Come with Me.”
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Your tender hands at rest.
God took you home to prove to us
He only takes the best.
Every time I eat cheetos and macaroni and cheese, I will think of you.
We will miss you dearly.
Frank,
May God bless you and continue to send His comfort upon your family. From all of us at GTF, our hearts are with you and we are praying for you.
Sincerely,
Pastor Jori

This morning I looked in the Websters dictionary at the definition of sister. It read vaugely “female sibling”
I thought about that and decided to write my own definition of MYsister.
Loving. Strong. Thoughtful. Giving. Caring. Compassion. Unselfish. Beautiful. Funny. Responsible. Smart. Dedicated. Trustworthy. Honest. Integrity……..
I could go on with a million words that would describe my sister and still not write enough.
Brenda,
We all love you so much and now we have a void that can’t be filled here.
We are so proud and happy that you met Jesus face to face. It will be a small breeze of the wind before we are together again and rejoice.
I am praying for you all the Lord is your strength. I Olivas
I want to express my deepest sympathy for your loss, but am so thankful for the hope of heaven.
