    Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8

    Remembering the meticulous stitches that Debbie put into her quilting, the Easter baskets she made for her Grandchildren, the way she cared for her Mother for many years and bringing her to church, the way she would give her last dollar even though she needed it……think on these things.

    Much Love

    Please accept my condolences in your loss. Death is truly an enemy just as the Bible says, especially when we lose a loved one- 1 Corinthians 15:26. But we do have the promise of seeing our loved ones again in the resurrection- John 5:21,28,29. May you have comfort at this difficult time.
