"As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;"
(Psalm 103:15-17)
May you and your family find comfort and grace in the sight of God during this difficult time, Christine, knowing and remembering that while time and circumstance may destroy the body, it cannot destroy the spirit, love, or the memory of this kind, caring woman, who lives on through the lives of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren now and until time itself shall have ceased.
Be blessed. Be comforted. And above all be assured that while these partings must needs come, death itself has been defeated by the same kind of love that your mom had in her heart for all of you.
It is that same love, I believe, that is with you every time you remember her, sometimes with a tear, sometimes with a smile, but always, always, with joy and hope, now, later and forever.
God bless.
In Christ,
Steven and Marion Eleftheriadis.
