We aren’t forgotten, aren’t abandoned, aren’t alone.
Because, You, Lord, say to the lost: ‘Come.’
You say to the Unlikely: ‘Beloved.’
You say to the Battle Weary: ‘Rest.’
You say: “Take every battle to the air in prayer —
so your God can take over your battles on earth.”
In a hard and beautiful world,
Your grace, Lord, is the only pillowed relief
for our tired souls to rest in You making all things new.

Thank you for notifying me about your dear Mother's death. I am so sorry. Marge was such a good friend and we shared so many memories of our Olney days. Your Mother was a beautiful woman inwardly and outwardly. This news brings an end to a wonderful era in our lives. The way Marge handled herself during the years of her struggle with Parkinson's truly proved her strength of character. Your Dad's care for Marge was a real sign of the fidelity to their marriage vows.
I mourn her loss, but I rejoice in the knowledge that their is no more suffering and that she is at peace. May God strengthen you in this loss.
Love and prayers,
Nancy
